Pro-administration party
Pro-Administration Party is a term used by historians to describe supporters of the policies of the first American President George Washington and in particular his Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton . Opposite them stood the supporters of the Anti-Administration Party , which, like the Pro-Administration Party, was not an organized party in the modern sense, but rather a loose political interest group. The Federalist Party emerged from the supporters of the president in 1791 , and the Democratic Republican Party emerged from their opponents .
