Yes, you’re correct - they did see the dangers of “parties and factions” and, soon after the beginnings of the Republic, we devolved to “parties and factions”. I mistated the facts when I said they didn’t “envision” it and stand corrected.

Actually, you need one more stop in the history book...

Remember the Federalists and the anti-Federalists who together wrote all of our founding documents?

They became the two parties we have today... They were opposing factions then and less opposing factions today...

Why don’t people research before they claim expertise any more?
