    The Republican Party and the Democrats.

    Explanation:

    Initially, the founding members of the Constitution did not support a two party system and made no provisions for it during the drafting of the Constitution. It was only during the 1790s that provisions for political parties emerged in US. Disagreements and debates on how the government would be governed led to the creation the Federalist and the Anti-Federalist groups in the Parliament. Alexander Hamilton emerged as the leader of the Federalist while Thomas Jefferson became the leader of the Anti-Federalist. They both argued over the nature of government and how it should be governed and opposed each other vehemently. However, the Federalist party collapsed in 1812 and the Anti - Federalist which was also known as Democratic-Republican party, split into two parties in the 1830's namely The Democrats and The Republicans.
