Okay that's not true. I don't have a history degree nor a direct quote from the 'designers of the system' But I did quickly find this from George Washington Wikipedia about his Farewell Address(not sure if it's 100% accurate).
But sure seems that Ole George disagreed with you.

quote:
While Washington accepts the fact that it is natural for people to organize and operate within groups like political parties, he also argues that every government has recognized political parties as an enemy and has sought to repress them because of their tendency to seek more power than other groups and take revenge on political opponents.[12]
Moreover, Washington makes the case that "the alternate domination" of one party over another and coinciding efforts to exact revenge upon their opponents have led to horrible atrocities, and "is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism." From Washington's perspective and judgment, the tendency of political parties toward permanent despotism is because they eventually and "gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual."[13]

Wow. Better read that quote from George again.
His comment was that partys would lead to despots... Not that you need to compromise.
In fact, his argument about the individual and not the party points to even more fervent debate from even more disparate viewpoints.
Seriously.. Read what you quoted again.
