George Washington was against political parties for the exact reason our country is being torn apart by partisan politics today.
Sounds like he should have put stronger protections in place, and definitely shouldn't have tied us to a FPTP voting style. Even the electoral college and the 270 vote requirements force us into a two party system.
Yup, as was said earlier, it was known that the system would have to be overthrown over time as it became bloated and corrupt.
