Question

Course Blog 5

In his Farewell Address to the nation, George Washington said the following:

“However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines,  which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”

What did George Washington mean by this?  Have his words come to pass?  Be sure to give clear examples that support your arguments.
