  17. Excerpt 2 (Talking about Political Parties: Federalists vs. Democratic – Republicans "It serves to distract the Public Councils, and (make weak the Public Administration....annoy the Community with not factual jealousies and false alarms; makes greater the animosity of one....against another....it opens the door to foreign influence and corruption” Questions: • Does GW think they are good or bad? • What are three things GW says will happen if there are political parties?
