Answer 2

A is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Today the USA is known for its elections, presidential system and its political parties, but in Philadelphia convention, the founding fathers omitted the political parties from the nation's founding documents. There was a reason why the founding fathers suspected political parties.

The French revolution had already proved how political parties can cause chaos in the country. Thomas Jefferson himself was serving as a diplomat in France during the revolution. George Washington's family had fled England due to civil wars. These were the reasons why they distrusted political parties.
