Excerpt from A Defence of the Character and Principles of Mr. Jefferson
I. The existence of parties in free governments is a matter of course, if not of absolute necessity. In a system which permits no expression of individual opinion,-wh.ere no voice is publicly heard but that of the sove'reign, - par.t'ies are unknown. Any opposition to the will of the master is either suppressed at once by force or ends in revolution, and the merits of the question at issue can only be discussed in the form of actual 'civil war. Where a free expression of opinions is allowed, they will naturally be found to differmore or less upon every question of importance, and the people will form themselves into parties, as they happen to approve or disapprove the measures, which, for the time, most forcibly engage the public attention. It may be added, that most governments carry with them, in the very nature of their constitu tions, the elements of permanent political division's, which, though mere or less active at different times, are never entirely Suppressed, and constantly re appear, perhaps 'with some variations of name or ferm, through the whole course of their history. Something of this kind, as I shall presently have occasion to remark, may be seen in the institutions of the United States.
