Answer 1

George Washington

Answer 2

It's complicated. Although the first two parties formed when Washington was in office (Federalists versus Jeffersonian Republicans), there have traditionally been significant third parties throughout the course of US history, starting with the Jacksonian Democrats taking the place of the Federalists, through the rise and fall of the Whig party in the early to mid 1800s (around the time of Lincoln), to the Populist and Progressive parties of the Guilded Age and the Prohibition era, to today (although with much less political presence). Probably the beginning of the era of Republican/Democratic party dominance happened around the time of President Roosevelt or McKinley.

Answer 3

George Washington was the President when the two parties system was created. The founders were in his Cabinet. Alexander Hamilton ( The one that will die in a duel) was secretary of the Treasury created the Federalist Party that favored a strong central government, Thomas Jefferson his secretary of state was the creator of the Democrat-Republican party in favor of a weak central government . The Federalist will die after their only president John Adams leaves office. Their become the Repulican Party, The DR will become the Democrat Party.
