In his farewell address (1796),
George Washington said the following about political parties:
“It
serves always to distract the public councils & enfeeble the public
administration. It agitates the
community with ill-founded jealousies & false alarms; kindles the animosity
of one part against another; foments [incites] occasionally riot &
insurrection. It opens the door to
foreign influence & corruption.”
Write your reaction to Washington’s thoughts on political parties. Your response should be at least a full
page long but no more than the single
sheet of paper in front of you.
Use a regular HW heading on your paper, use "Washington Quote" as your assignment title, and do NOT re-write the question or the quote.
