Political Parties

Question 1 • PBCSD_CR_2106315_US_Government_for Credit_Recovery_2015

What led to the formation of political parties?

Answer
C
Certain individuals wanted to gain political power.
T
The writers of the Constitution disagreed on ideology.
T
The Constitution encouraged the concept of two political parties.
I
It gave party leaders power to organize at the local level.

Explanation

Political parties formed because people in the early United States disagreed about how the new government should work. Those disagreements included different views about federal power and economic policy, creating groups that organized around shared ideas. Choice B, that the Constitution’s writers disagreed on ideology, best captures this cause; the Constitution itself did not call for two parties.
