   Did political parties exist in other countries?

   • When the U.S. Constitution was drafted, its authors were certainly aware that political parties existed in other countries (like Great Britain), but they hoped to avoid them in the United States.

   What is the most prominent election in the United States?

   • The most prominent election in the United States is that of President.
