The economic policies of the Adams in ministration contribute to the emergence of new political parties by providing formation of federalists and democratic republicans

Step-by-step explanation:

John Adams became the president of the United States of America in the year 1797 and was in power till the year 1801. During his rule, there was formation of two political parties which were the federalists and the democratic republicans.

The federalists were in favor of strong government and consisted of the wealth portion of the population and the republicans were mostly merchants and were not in favor of a strong government. Adams also wanted less interference of the government in the working of the economy, thus leading to a divide in thinking process.
