Question

george washington said he was against political parites so it should be anti-politcal parties
and plase let it be short and to the point but dont get the one from the farewell adress ive looked at it and it doesnt really fit in with what im doing thanks

Answer 1

OK (though it is indirectly from the Farewell Address)
Political contention was "a fire not to be quenched" . . .
"it demands a uniform vigilance lest, instead of warming,
it should consume" - - from the so called Farewell Address printed in newspapers in the fall (latter September) of 1796.
Another good bit was - - he warned against the machinations of "a small but artful, enterprising minority" - meaning the politically astute politicians who could manipulate public opinion. Perhaps the first warning against 'spin doctors'.

[The site cited below is the full test - - which I gather that
you already have.]

Answer 2

As far as I know, his farewell adress says it the best. What don't you get about it. Basicly, he fears that an organized minority group could replace the will of the country with their agenda. This seems to have happened (with both the Dems and the Repubs) but that is due to low voter turnout as much as it is to the party system.
