I do not like political parties because I think they tear people apart and cause problems. They can also make people vote for the party they like and not the person him/herself.

WHAT WASHINGTON WANTED??
 * 1) two terms max. (No more kings)
 * 2) No public debt! (avoid borrowing money)
 * 3) Watch out for strong aliences because choosing sides could lead us into war
 * 4) Wanted people to be educated so they could make decisions on facts.
 * 5) NO politcal parties (lead to problems)

Midnight affair notes. -Political, it involves people who are in the government. -When Adams made a ton of federalists judges at last minute because he knew he had lost the elction and wanted people that had the same views as him in office.
