Explanation:

George Washington, as the first president of the United States, and John Adams, Washington's vice-president and his successor as the president faced tensions between their own associates, those considered Federalists, and the Democratic-Republicans.

While the federalists were mostly part of the elite upper classes, and with the support of wealthy merchants and manufacturers, and influential bonds with Great Britain, the democratic-republicans were mostly farmers and wanted a government that represented the lower classes as well.
