Political parties - we either love them or hate them. But where exactly did they come from?
All of the founding fathers tended agree on one thing: factions were not a good thing for the country. But as I explore in this episode, the very men who were adamantly opposed to the formation of parties - Alexander Hamilton & James Madison - were two of the most active and influential individuals in the development of the first political parties.
This episode explores why these parties emerged and why only two major parties get all the attention.
