Washington was not a member of any political party, and hoped that they would not be formed. However, one of his friends formed two sections. Secretary of Treasury Alexander Hamilton had plans to build a financially powerful nation, and formed the Federalist Party/Republican. Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson of the Democratic-Republicans, opposed Hamilton's agenda, but Washington favored Hamilton over Jefferson. So these two people started the two parties because both had different ideas.
The first significant parties are Republican, Democratic-Republican. The Democrats- stood for the poor class with low income, They taxed the poor people less and the rich people more who could afford it. Republicans stood for the upper class rich people, taxing the poor people and cutting taxes from the rich. They also tend to have better skills with the crises of war while the democrats have better economic values.
