Washington and Roosevelt present the spirit of party and special interests as threats to democracy. In 1–2 sentences, draw conclusions about the origin of each. How are they similar, and how could one cause the other?(2 points)
Both Washington and Roosevelt believe that the spirit of party and special interests originate from individuals prioritizing their own agendas over the common good. They are similar in that they both see these threats as undermining the principles of democracy by promoting narrow, self-serving interests over the greater good. The spirit of party could lead individuals to prioritize special interests that align with their party's agenda, leading to a cycle of corruption and self-interest that undermines the democratic process.
