It led to the federalists (hamiltons party ) and the democratic - republican(jeffersons party)
It approached its demise. It began to splinter into 2 distinct groups - the moderate Federalists, like John Adams, and the High Federalists, like Alexander Hamilton. With the election of 1800 it declined further, and in 1804 (following the death of Alexander Hamilton, in a duel) it collapsed. It stayed alive for a while, but it was disorganized without its leader and was not as powerful as the Democratic-Republicans, who enjoyed a decade or two without opposition.
Thomas Jefferson was a Democratic-Republican. *Although the party was not called the "Democratic Republicans" until around 1839. The party was initially called the Republicans (Different party than today's republicans) - but their opponents called them 'Democrats' insultingly. Eventually (after a few slight faction name shifts), the name was changed to "Democratic Republicans." *Thomas Jefferson was an anti-federalist, then a member of the Opposition (when George Washington was president), and -then- a Republican (Jeffersonian Republican) during the presidency of Madison. Factions at that time in history often changed names and goals (ie, the anti-federalists were against the consolidation of the nation under one government. Obviously, Jefferson helped unify our country and those problems were resolved, so after the constitution was finished, there was no real need for those parties anymore.)
