There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.-- John Adams (30 October 1735 - 4 July 1826), first Vice President, second President of the US, father of John Quincy Adams, Letter to Jonathan Jackson (2 October 1789)
