What type of leader does Washington say the people will turn to if parties become too powerful and the people are unhappy?

In his Farewell Address, George Washington warned that if political parties became too powerful and led to widespread discontent among the people, they would turn to a leader who promises stability and unity, possibly even a demagogue. He cautioned that such a leader might exploit the divisions created by factions, potentially undermining the principles of democracy. Washington emphasized the importance of prioritizing national unity over party loyalty to prevent the rise of authoritarianism.
