The constitution was designed with no parties in mind and can function with one, or two or multi or no parties whatsoever, as long as you have separation of powers and federalism securely in place. We are mucking around with federalism and separation of powers to the point that it doesn’t help. But whether there are two parties or multiple parties is really insignificant and it is a bi-product of the system we have created by statute of a single representative elected from a district.
