The First Party System is a term of periodization used by political scientists and historians to describe the political system existing in the United States between roughly 1792 and 1824. It featured two national parties competing for control of the presidency, Congress, and the states: the Federalist Party and the Democratic-Republican Party. The First Party System ended during the Era of Good Feelings (1816-1824), as the Federalists shrank to a few isolated strongholds.

  • The First Party System is a term of periodization used by political scientists and historians to describe the political system existing in the United States between roughly 1792 and 1824. It featured two national parties competing for control of the presidency, Congress, and the states: the Federalist Party and the Democratic-Republican Party. The First Party System ended during the Era of Good Feelings (1816-1824), as the Federalists shrank to a few isolated strongholds. In 1824-28, as the Second Party System emerged, the Democratic-Republican Party split into the Jacksonian faction, which became the modern Democratic Party in the 1830s, and the Henry Clay faction, which was absorbed by Clay's Whig Party.
