Parties . . .


(from How The Hell Did This  Happen?  The Election of 2016 by P.J. O'Rourke)
". . . The reason that American political parties have no constitutional standing is that the framers of the Constitution hoped America would have no political parties. . . In Federalist Paper No. 9 Alexander Hamilton declares "domestic faction" to be "the cause of incurable disorder and imbecility in the government." . . . In Federalist Paper No. 10 James Madison inveighs against "the violence of faction," calls it a "dangerous vice," and warns that "the public good is disregarded in the conflictd of rival parties.". . . Madison . . . describes, with eerie prescience, our Democratic and Republican presidential primaries and caucuses 228 years in the future: "So strong is the propensity of mankind to fall into mutual animosities that where no substantial occasion presents itself the most frivolous and fanciful distinctions have been sufficient to kindle their unfriendly passions and excite their most violent conflicts". . . "
