@Greg651 @bbenamati So may have assumed partisanship was over.
.@Greg651 @bbenamati In Britain there'd been two: "Court party" and "Whigs," or "country party." All the Founders were whigs.

@bbenamati@Greg651 I do not think they anticipated how venomous party opposition would become (e.g, by 1800). It's a matter of degree.

@Profepps every part of our government was constructed by design to prevent rule by any single faction or party@Greg651@bbenamati -
.
@ThePeoplesBacon@Greg651@bbenamati Odd, then that we had single-party rule from 1789-1828 or thereabouts. Those darned Founders! -
@Profepps odd? How? Brand new nation. We didn't really have "parties" so much as interests. Puritans?@Greg651@bbenamati -
@ThePeoplesBacon@Greg651@bbenamati Read Bailyn and Wood. Nation wasn't "brand new," it was an offshoot of England--complete with parties. -
@Profepps@ThePeoplesBacon@Greg651@bbenamati If it was an offshoot-complete with parties-how do you say they never envisioned parties? -
@FishUnderTheSea it's a logic circle.@Profepps@Greg651@bbenamati

@AaronWorthing Our founders established our government to prevent single party rule.@Profepps@Greg651@bbenamati -

@ThePeoplesBacon@AaronWorthing@Greg651@bbenamati I'll probably regret this, but what evidence to you have for that unusual claim? -
@Profepps how is thus unusual? Basic US history. The electoral college for one.@ThePeoplesBacon@AaronWorthing@Greg651@bbenamati -
@ThePeoplesBacon@AaronWorthing@Greg651@bbenamati Now you're just saying phrases. that's the problem with twitter. -
@Profepps Get over yourself. We're all "just saying phrases". This is twitter. Deliberately obtuse again@AaronWorthing@Greg651@bbenamati -
His goal is to rely on his credentials to justify a move toward dictatorship

The founder generation was never of one mind. Some didn't want independence, some didn't want the const.

@AaronWorthing the creation of the two houses demonstrates populist vs statist ideology.@Profepps@Greg651@bbenamati -
