The Federalist

Parties are but the organization of the politicians. As such, it shall be deemed necessary and proper that they act according to the laws of the constitution, and obey the voice of the people. With such qualms of internal governance, the Party in power has a potential to abuse said power, and form coalitions to get its agenda passed without the consent of the governed, or the governors. Hence, a Party cannot be distracted, cannot do as it pleases without the consent of its sister parties, and must, at all costs, engage in democracy. There is but an innate instinct to assume all power, and then power is abused. What we see, the people do not. Parties are made up of people. Parties are ideologies incarnate. A party must engage in good governance before it can be voted into office.
