John Adams was the first president of the U. S. To belong to a political party. Parties arose during the presidency of George Washington and were sharply divided on the issue of how powerful the federal government should be.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The issues on which the political parties of the United States of America were divided into were the issues of how the federal government of the country should be.

Some political parties believed that the central government should be strong and the others believed that the central government should not be so strong. It should give freedom and liberty to the citizens of the country to take decisions and that everything should not be in hands of the government as in the case of the federalists.
