The MP's that became known as the Tories were the King's allies in parliament. The Whigs, who were the opposition nicknamed the government 'Tories' originally as an insult after a notorious band of thieves and bandits from Donegal in Ireland.
The early era of the House of Commons was dominated by the Whigs and Tories due to the political and social upheavals of the late 17th century, including the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which established a constitutional monarchy. The Whigs emerged as champions of parliamentary power and civil liberties, while the Tories generally supported the monarchy and the established church. This division reflected broader societal conflicts over governance, religion, and the rights of individuals versus the authority of the state. The rivalry between these two factions laid the groundwork for the development of the modern British political system.

No, they were actually one in the same. The 2 main political parties in England at the time were Tories (conservative) and Whigs (liberal). The same 2 political parties existed in Colonial America only they were divided along different lines, the Tories being loyal to the throne and the Whigs (being the smart ones) wanted independence.
Jonathan Swift was influenced by the Whigs and Tories in his writings and political views. He initially aligned with the Whigs but broke away due to various disagreements. He critiqued both parties in his works, such as "Gulliver's Travels," often satirizing politicians and their policies.

False. You are thinking of England, maybe. There never was a Tory party in the US and the Whigs broke up about 1855.
