IN THE BEGINNING, the Framers created self-government without "factions." Jefferson Said, "If I could not go the Heaven but with a Party, I would not go there at all." And the Framers said, "Let there be Enlightenment without Parties," and there was Enlightenment without Parties at the Constitutional Convention. All through the summer of 1787, in closed sessions, the delegates debated, and redrafted the articles of the new Constitution. In the end, they created a model of cooperative statesmanship and the art of compromise. And the Framers saw that it was good. Then the Framers said, "Let it be Ratified," and it was Ratified. The Founders saw all that they had made, and it was very good. And then the Political Parties were born anyway. In the fullness of time, they would rear up as Democrat and Republican. Now the Earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, again. Damn.
