Future anti-Federalists?
[edit]Who, under the Washington Administration, was a future Anti-Federalist? Anti-Federalism had been and gone with the ratification of the Constitution, the year before his first Inauguration. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 02:14, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Ambiguity regarding the leader
[edit]"The Anti-Administration Party (1789–1792) was the informal faction led by Thomas Jefferson[...]"
"Virginia Congressman James Madison was the leader of the Anti-Administration Party"
Both of these contradictory statements are prominent within the article, clarification is definitely needed. --Genya Avocado (talk) 01:33, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
- they were co-leaders, but at one time one was more prominent than the other. Rjensen (talk) 11:57, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
Scholars do use the term
[edit]Someone wants to drop the article. however standard recent scholarly sources do indeed use the term 1) "These factions had been known as the Anti-Administration Party" says Kenneth F. Warren (2008). Encyclopedia of U.S. Campaigns, Elections, and Electoral Behavior. SAGE Publications. p. 176.. 2) "The Jefferson case study in chapter 3 discusses how Jefferson desired the presidency and how he and his allies built an “anti-administration” party." says Lara M. Brown (2010). Jockeying for the American Presidency: The Political Opportunism of Aspirants. Cambria Press. p. 34. and p 22; 3) "Madison and Jefferson were at the center of a “rising anti-Administration party" says William F. Connelly Jr. (2010). James Madison Rules America: The Constitutional Origins of Congressional Partisanship. Rowman & Littlefield. p. 198.; 4) "Thus the anti-administration party, a legislative party in the sense that its members consciously worked together," says Kenneth R. Bowling (1968). Politics in the First Congress, 1789-1791. U of Wisconsin.; 5) the term was used by Orrin G Libby back in 1913: "This may well be considered to mark the end of Jefferson's initial essay at the organization of an anti-administration party." in Libby, Orin G. (1913). Quarterly Journal - University of North Dakota. p. 302. Rjensen (talk) 12:06, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
Tea Green?
[edit]Is there a cite for tea green being the color of the party? I've seen other pages have incorrect colors (for example, "salmon" for the federalists). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bjengles3 (talk • contribs) 16:02, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
