C
Federalists
D
Know Nothing Party
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Federalist Party was one of the first political parties in the United States. It did not survive very long, dying off after the War of 1812.

Detailed explanation-2: -With the signing of the Treaty of Ghent in 1814 and the end of the War of 1812, many Americans viewed the Federalists as traitors. The Federalist Party collapsed, leaving the Democratic-Republican Party as the only political party in the United States until the mid-1820s.

Detailed explanation-3: -Although it lingered on in these states, the party never regained its national following, and by the end of the War of 1812, it was dead. Its inability to accommodate early enough a rising, popular democratic spirit, often strongest in towns and cities, was its undoing.

Detailed explanation-4: -Known informally as the Jeffersonian Republicans, this group of politicians organized in opposition to the policies of Federalists such as Alexander Hamilton, who favored a strong central government.
