Hamilton dreaded parties as "the most fatal disease" of popular governments and hoped America could dispense with such groups.7 James Kent later wrote, "Hamilton said in The Federalist, in his speeches, and a hundred times to me that factions would ruin us and our government had not sufficient energy and balance to resist the propensity to them and to control their tyranny and their profligacy."8
