What is James Madison's opinion of political parties as featured in Federalist No. 10? They are harmful to democracy. They must be licensed by Congress. They are essential to a healthy democracy. They should be funded by the federal government. Question 2 Parties are especially useful in the American political system because they can enable conflict between the branches of government reinforce the power distribution function of the federal system coordinate activity across both branches and levels of government strengthen separatist tendencies among certain geographic minorities Question 3 Despite what the responsible party model states that they should be, American party platforms are often of little concern to party activists strong policy statements from one particular party wing compromises between competing factions within the same party powerful contrasts of the two main parties' visions for the future

Module 2 Discussion Discuss whether you would have been a Federalist or an Anti-Federalist during the Constitutional debates. Would you have moved from Hamilton's stance of "the bigger is the better" in terms of government (as James Madison did)? What were the pros and cons of both the Federalist and the Democratic-Republican positions in the early years of the US? How has the country developed? Would you say it has followed a Hamiltonian or Jeffersonian vision? Has this changed at various times?

United Irish exiles in the US, whether Presbyterian, Anglican, or Catholic, tended to rally around the Federalists as the party of Washington and Adams. They avoided politics altogether and fought bitterly among themselves. They also supported the party of Jefferson as republican, anti-British, and pro-French.
