USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Political factions or parties began to form during the struggle over ratification of the federal Constitution of 1787.

Detailed explanation-2: -The political parties of the 1790s emerged because of disagreements over three main issues: the nature of government, the economy and foreign policy.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Party began as a coalition of anti-slavery Conscience Whigs such as Zachariah Chandler and Free Soilers such as Salmon P. Chase. The first anti-Nebraska local meeting where “Republican” was suggested as a name for a new anti-slavery party was held in a Ripon, Wisconsin schoolhouse on March 20, 1854.

Detailed explanation-4: -Banking was the first dividing issue, with Federalists supporting the chartering of a national bank and the Democratic Republicans opposing it. The division into parties was also amplified by differing responses to the Jay Treaty negotiated between the United States and Great Britain in 1794.

Detailed explanation-5: -They resented Federalist monetary policies, which they believed gave advantages to the upper class. In foreign policy, the Republicans leaned toward France, which had supported the American cause during the Revolution. Jefferson and his colleagues formed the Republican Party in the early 1790s.
