Maybe that was another poster above, my mistake. He was indeed influential but far from the sole decider in the shaping of the country, and while yes he did help install the system that lead to the current situation it's possible that 200+ years of hindsight affects our judgement in a different way than his was, and he still foresaw the need to not get stuck in a two party system. Sure, he may not have been an omniscient all powerful being able to usher in an eternity of utopian bliss, but he tried his best to improve the station of the people at the time.
