Option #2 Read the passage and then answer the following question in a paragraph.

When George Washington took office in 1789, the United States had no political
parties…. Early on, though, political disagreements divided Americans.

“Men who have been [friends] all their lives,” noted Jefferson, “cross streets to avoid
meeting, and turn their heads another way, lest they should be obliged to touch
their hats.” Before Washington left office in 1797, two rival political parties
had emerged…."

Why are political parties so important and influential today? Name a political party and give an example of their beliefs? or

Do you think that there will always be political parties in our future, why or why not?

The polical parties are important today because of voting for the president. People have different beliefs, about how the goverment should be ran. There are diffrent ideas of shorting the national debt, making our economys stronger, and creating laws that the nation can live by.

2013-03-21 12:55:15 UTC

We think political parties will be in our future because since the late of the 1700s there has been Federalists and Republicans who fight for their right to believe their opinions about the Constitutions

i think that there will always be political parties. this is beacuse evryone will always have there own opinion. if ppl stop having opinions then there would only be 1 party, but eveyone has an opinion

Washington is at the front of the boat with his hat in his

hand, all the people surrandoing him are very joyful.

The creater focused more on washnington by painting him in all black. The mood of the people greeting Washington is happy with him and his inauguration. Inaugurations are such important events in history because it shows how the President reacts to situations and it explains his oath.

I think that Political parties will be around for many years to come because people have different thoughts about different subjects.

Shawn and Logan

2013-03-21 13:41:33 UTC

1. Washington is leading the boat and tipping his hat to all the on lookers.

2.Some people in the picture look happy but others look mad.

3.He makes him standing out in all black, up high, and tipping his hat.

4.Inaugurations are such an important events in our history is swearing the specific person into office so they are now the President offically.

I believe that we will always have political parties because so everyone can have a say in what they believe or feel is right. in most situations, if they didnt have political parties or share their own opinion, we wouldnt have as many things as we have today.

Erika Tennett

2013-03-21 17:42:45 UTC

Political parties are so important today

because they represent the beliefies and

veiw of the country of Americans.

Jasmine

2013-03-21 17:43:25 UTC

Political parties are so important and influential today because everyone has different beliefs like Hamilton and Jefferson, they both disagreed on everything because they really had different way of viewing things they had their own beliefs for everything and it's influential because it's ok to have your own opinion out there and defend what you believe in. For example, whatever suggestion Hamilton had, jefferson had his own. An example of a political party are democrates and they believe in more business and government control and such. Honestly I always think there will be a political party nobody will always believe in the same thing and they have a choice who to side with and who will support it

Corinne K

2013-03-21 17:48:01 UTC

Political parties are always going to be around in the future. There are always going to be people with different beliefs and who will fight. These political parties are a part of our history, just like Jefferson and Hamilton. These parties made the elections and they will never end. Political parties are so influencial because people can use their own beliefs and wouldnt have to worry about what other people think.

gourge wasington is raising his hat to the people, the people are cheering. the artist focused attention on wasington by putting him in a dark coat that stands out from the croud. inauguratioins are so important because it is when the president is sworn into office.

2013-03-21 17:54:40 UTC

Political parties are important because they give people the right to express their opinions with other people who have similar opinions. It also gives people the right to choose what side they want to be on during a dbeate or an election. A political party could also change the outcome of an election because of what someone says or how they handle a situation. An example of a political party could be a liberal democrat, one of their beliefs is to ban guns completely even though that proably wont work. political parties will be around for as long as people have opinions.

Washington is on the boat tippin his hat to American citizens. The mood of the people greeting him is very happy. The artist focuses on Washington by puttinh him in the center and darkening his clothes. The inaugurations are important because it swares the president to the oath of office.

Aram Joharjian

2013-03-21 19:04:57 UTC

Washington is in the middle of the picture, saluting to his army on the task at hand. The people greeting Washington have a happy mood, because they are able to help Washington with what he is doing. The artist of this painting focuses trhe attention of Washington very deeply to show how important his greetings are at the moment. Inaugurations are important because theyinterpret duties of the presidents.

Brittney Tennett

2013-03-21 19:45:09 UTC

Political Parties are important and influential

today because they try to help direct our country

in the right way. One political party is the Republicans.

They favored strong state governments, emphazized

agriculture, and opposed the national bank and the

protective tariff.

Ryan M

I think there will be political parties in the future because they helped us in the past so why should we stop using them in the future.

Alexia A. & Morgan P.

2013-03-21 22:58:39 UTC

There will always be political parties in our futures because since the late 1700s, we have had political parties. To this day, U.S. elections have been based on what political parties the candidates are.

Austin Levin

2013-03-21 23:34:01 UTC

I chose option number two, and I believe political parties are important and influential because it shows what you are for and against because a political party shows your beliefs and personalities. For example, I know Democrats are more for fairness while Republicans are more for having people earn their jobs and money without as much help from the government. I also think that there will be political parties in the future because even if we stop refering to people as Democrats and Republicans or whatever your party is, I think that won't stop us from knowing what party they are and what their views are towards a person.

Matthew Cabral

2013-03-21 23:42:05 UTC

Option 1

George Washington is the person standing on the boat greeting the men and woman. The mood of the people greeting Washington seems to be happy. In the background you can see people cheering. The artist focuses attention on George Washington by making him have different color clothing. while others in this picture are in white he is in black. Inauguration are important event in out history because they give us a mental picture of what the beginning of our presidency was like and other important events. Also, they can give you information just by looking at them

Melanie Dugas

2013-03-22 00:28:02 UTC

Political parties are so important and influential today because if we didn't have political parties, we would have disagreements but

it would be chaos trying to organize everyones thoughts and opinions. They are influential because the democratic party helps to

persuade people to vote in a certain way. The democratic party is more liberal while the Republican party is more conservative.

Being this way, if people decide they want a more liberal governement they stick with Democratic, if they want a conservative gov.

they stick with Republican parties. The Democratic party believed that the wealthy and well educated should lead the nation. They

also favored strong centeral government, loose interpretation of Constitution, national banks, and they favored protective tariff.

Haley M

haleymacedo10 — 2013-03-22 01:34:28 UTC

Political parties will always be around in our future. I believe this because people are always going to have different views and opinions on different things and that's not going to change. The political parties give people an option as to which opinion and options they believe in. Like Alex Hamilton and and thomas Jefferson, both had 2 different political views. They had different views, which gives people a option as to which direction they want to go in as far as politics.for example, Federalists, now known as democrats, favored a loose interpretation of the comstitution. On the other hand, republicans favored a more strict interpretation of the constitution. Although they did make compromises and agreed on some things such as they both favored strong governments, I think people will always have an option as to who they want to lead the country. I think we will always have political parties since they started so long ago.

Emilia Vaziri

2013-03-22 02:35:19 UTC

Political parties are so important and influential today because that's how they run politics and that's how they shape their views on things. Yes I do think there will always be political parties because without them political disagreements can occur and divide Americans again.

Sophia Perrotta

2013-03-22 11:36:40 UTC

Political parties will always be apart of our nation, since people will not always agree with each other completely. Political parties are a main structure for our voting process and contributes to the independence of citizens. With different parties, people can express their views on the. Government and other political aspects of our country

Michelle F

2013-03-22 11:56:43 UTC

Option #2: I do think that there will be political parties in the future because it helps "organize" peoples' beliefs. It would be better, in my opinion, if people just gave speeches telling what they would do as President without having to be part of a specific party. But considering parties have been around since the 1700's, then I don't think they'll disappear any time soon.

Alyze Brito

littleflitman — 2013-03-22 11:57:34 UTC

#1 Washington is standing up, with his hat in his hand, acknowledging his fellow citizens.

#2The mood of people greeting Washinton is very happy and excited. This may be because they're celebrating the presidency of George Washington, the president they elected to rule their country. They believe that they made a great choice and cannot wait to hear his thoughts, comments, ect.

3#The artists focusses attention on George Washington by not only drawing him standing up, while others are sitting down, but also by adding fantastic detail to his boat.

4# Inaugurations are such important parts to our history because they not celebrate the leader of our country, but also make the president declare his loyalty to his presidency.

Erica Kite

2013-03-22 15:24:42 UTC

This shows that the artist is focusing his attention on Washington because you can tell that he is tipping his hat towards them and everyone is looking at him with happiness. Their mood is obviously joy becuase Washington is here and they are excited. Inaugurations are important because it swears the President into office and it is a turning point for the prople.

Corinna Calise

2013-03-22 19:00:40 UTC

I feel that there will always be different political parties because we have the freedom to voice our own opinions and form groups that support them. If we only had one political party, we would not have a democracy, and no one would think differently. We all think and feel strongly about topics and can choose who we want to support. We all do not support the same issues and political topics.

Allison Marchetti

2013-03-22 19:05:14 UTC

I think that always having political parties in our future depends on where people stand and what decisions the President will make. Depending on the President, he/she might not want to see the people divided over such hard discussions and ideas for the nation. I think that because political parties have been around so long, they will always be in our future. Again, it all depends on the people. Congress hasn't changed this yet, so they shouldn't be doing it any time soon, I would hope.

Jada

2013-03-22 19:15:31 UTC

Washington is tipping his hat as a greeting to the crowd of people. The mood in the atmosphere seems to be happiness, while some people do not agree with Washington becoming President. The artist placed Washington near the center of the image. Also, he is dressed in all black and standing. This makes him stand out among the crowd. Inaugurations are important events in our history, where new Presidents must swear an oath. This also names them as an official President.

Morgan DiMaio

2013-03-23 16:55:15 UTC

Political Parties are a very big part in the way we vote today. Political parties i think will will always be here in the future. Many people have different opinions and beliefs and will never agree to one solid president for our country. The most common political parties are democratics and republicans. Democratics feel that everyone should have a say in there government while they feel there ruler will make the ultimate decision.

Alison Pitocchelli

Alison Pitocchelli

Option 2: I believe that political parties are important/influencial today because they allow citizens to be more independent. For example, Federalists (currently known as Democrats), had a loose interpretation of the Constitution compared to Republicans. Also, yes, I think that there will be political parties in the future. My reason for this is because it creates a type of structure for our beliefs, and without it our thoughts would be disorganized, resulting to a lot of confusion.

Jillian E

2013-03-24 16:41:38 UTC

(Option #2)

Jillian Esposito

2013-03-24 16:42:24 UTC

(option #2) I feel that political parties are so important and influential today because it expresses opinions. For example, on the democrat party, they believe in equality, and that all people should be able to pursue what they believe in. However, the republican party disagrees with the other party. As you can see, democrats are for abortion while republicans are against it.

Ryan Santo

2013-03-24 21:28:08 UTC

Option 2:

I think political parties will always be

around because they bring out the main

issues during the election. Throughout

all political commercials, it is always

stated what the candidate thinks on

key problems in society. Also, political parties

give people a side to choose. It allows citizens

to express their political views along with

otherswho feel the same way

Sophia Perrotta

2013-03-24 21:28:34 UTC

Michelle, I completely agree with you. You brought up a good point when you said political parties have been around since the start of our nation and won't disappear any time soon. Political parties are important to the elections and contributes to the factors that sway our votes.

Cammy Macomber

2013-03-24 22:25:54 UTC

Option 1

1. In this picture George Washington is

standing on a boat with his hat up and was greeting the citizens who he would help improve their lives. The mood of people seeing Washington, was that they were very happy, joyful and excited because they knew that Washington would improve the U.S for better. Also they can't wait to hear what he has to say. This particular artist focuses Washington standing on the boat because no on else is standing, he is in the center with a good amount of space around him and in that area he is the only one lifting his hat. Also how the artist put a lot of detail on the front of the boat where Washington was showed that he was the main part of the picture. Inaugurations are so important to our history is because it shows that were enthused for our country to grow, it gives the president hope and support, and also it shows people that this president will be loyal to our country. That is why an inauguration is so important.

sam e

2013-03-24 22:43:24 UTC

The artist focuses the attention on Washingotn because in the picture as he arrives with his crew they all tip his hats to him in respect. Also in this picture all of the people are looking at him like he is the boss. In other words he is the leader and they all look up to him in that sort of way. The artist also makes Washington stand out of the many people in the group

Hannah Lee

2013-03-24 22:47:17 UTC

Option # 2= Political parties are so important and influential today because it is now the new way to run the government . People are always going to have diffrent views on politics, even back then Hamilton and Jefferson had two ways of looking at a problem. Today and in the future the government needs more than one point of view to make a desicion, it also keeps it balanced and gives people a choice. I don't think political parties will ever end because we have the right to speak of what we believe and not everyone in America has the same beliefs or point of view as someone else.They are so important because it allows people to think about another point of view and decide what side they think it better, this makes up our government.

John Lemme

2013-03-24 23:18:41 UTC

#2 - Political parties, for better or for worse, are probably here to stay. The party system was created to group people's interests and allow them easy access to a politician who agreed and supported them. One party today is the Libertarian Party, who supports more and better personal freedoms and a smaller government. Most likely, the party system is going to be around for a while. However, this does not make it fair. Because voting is so heavily centered around the Democratic and Republican parties, smaller parties or groups have almost no shot at winning a spot in office.

Noah C

2013-03-24 23:33:03 UTC

People with similar ideas and beliefs always join together and that is what a political party is so we will always have them. They might change over time though. For example, there are no more Federalists and there are new parties like the Tea Party, which believes in a strict reading of the Constitution and a reduction of the debt, kind of like Jefferson. Political parties are important because there is more strength in numbers so they can accomplish things that individuals might not be able to do.

Noah Dinerman

2013-03-24 23:52:13 UTC

1. Washington is greeting the people.

2. The people look happy

3. Wahington stands out because he is wearing a coat that is dark black.

4. Inaugurations are very important because that is when the president takes the oath into office

Sophia DiMascolo

2013-03-24 23:58:59 UTC

option #2: Political parties are very important and influential because each political party can express their own opinion. They allow all citizens to be their own person, and to be independent. For example, a Democratic party believes that they should support the middle class and the unions. They have more liberal views than the Republican party. They believe in equality of the races, religions, and sexual orientation.

Hannah Lee

2013-03-25 00:04:02 UTC

Option #2=An example of a political party would be that the democratic party is more of a liberal party than the republicans who are more conservative.

Steven PESKY

2013-03-25 00:23:05 UTC

1. George Washington is greeting the citizens and tipping his hat.

2. The mood of the people seems to be happy and enthusiastic as they are greeted.

3. The artist focuses attention on Washington by displaying only him in dark clothing and standing at the end of the boat.

4. Inaugurations are important events because they officially establishes a new President that vows to better the Country.

Jennifer Luker

2013-03-25 01:34:31 UTC

I chose Option #2 and I do believe that we will still have political parties in the future. Political parties help to express our opinions and beliefs among others and it allows people to share their views with people that may feel the same or different about it. I also feel that there would be much confusion without them because they help to organize our key points in what we strongly believe in.

Rachael Beneduce

2013-03-25 02:40:16 UTC

Option #2- I believe that political parties are so important and influential today because it gives people to have their own opinions and beliefs, and for someone or something to represent them. For example, Republicans focus more on small businesses and Democrats focus more on government. Political parties may have their disagreement, however when they work together they get things done well. That is what we need to work on especially during these times. I think there will always be political parties because even though most people are Democrats there are still those voices out there and their opinions need to be heard. Everyone has the right of free speech.

McKenzie M.

2013-03-25 02:56:43 UTC

Political parties will always be a part in our future, in my opinion. Not all people in our world agree on everything and this causes arguments. People have their own opinion and political parties will help them to express their opinions, beliefs, or political views. Nobody will ever come to just one decision all together especially with their president, and political parties will help them to defend their side/issue. One political party was between the British and the Americans. They disagreed on many things like wars and remaining neutral.

Christian Reilly

2013-03-25 11:03:09 UTC

Option#2 I believe that political parties will always be a part of our future because each party has very

different beliefs and neither party will ever agree with each other to become one. I also think that

since political parties have been around since the 17 hundreds that it will not change in the future. In the future

there may be more parties than the two that exist today, but I do not think there will ever be none.

People today have strong views and opinions and want to have a say in what is going on in our country.

Matt Fyrer

2013-03-25 11:17:48 UTC

The artist draws attention to gerorge washigton by having him be a little bit taller than the rest of the crowd. The author also has him wearing a dark coat.

Kyle hammond

2013-03-25 11:58:21 UTC

I think political parties are important because they can let people express their opinions. Also, it allows people to choose a side so they can express thier feelings with people who have the same thoughts as them. Next, a political party could influence the outcome of an election. One example of a political party is a liberal democrat. One of thier beliefs is to ban guns but that probably wont happen.
