Ok so I’m taking AP US History this year and so far I’m getting a 76, which I need to get up to at least an 80 before the quarter closes. My teacher doesn’t teach the class that well in my opinion, she just assigns us 2-3 DBQs a week and the day after we pass them in she rambles on about our DBQs for the whole class, so I don’t really rely on learning from her. Anyways I need to do better on my DBQs and start getting 9s. So I ask that you guys can help me with this dbq from my book: What issues prompted the evolution of the first American political party system during the administrations of Washington and Adams? Develop a thesis that analyzes and explains the forces that Washington had criticized as being dangerous to the nation; but which were so powerful that he and the other leaders of government were forced to submit as the Jeffersonian and Hamiltonian factions evolved into identifiable political parties. Deal with the period from the accession of Washington through the election of 1800 and the ascension of Jefferson to the presidency.

I will post my dbq on here when I finish it, but I would like to hear some ideas, and advice on what I can do to get a 9 on this DBQ. I would greatly appreciate any help.
