Other Questions I may If political parties were so frowned upon by people of power that early, why did
have about the they stick?
information (Required)
Please list three things 1.) That some of the more well-known names in political history didn’t actually
you learned today like political parties.
(Required) 2.) Not too many people had positive things to say about parties.
3.) Not so much learned, but recognized, political parties in history are different
than today’s

Please explain how one Seeing how many people of the past didn’t actually like parties makes me realize
thing you learned today how different they seem to be. Today it seems like a constant race, even when
relates to you. BE politics really aren’t involved. In that sense, I agree with what they say, that
SPECIFIC!!!! parties shouldn’t exist, but on the other hand they often serve to help some
people.
