"The FF did not like the European model of multi parties and intentionally constructed a political structure that was designed for a two party system."

No quite true. The original model had no parties at all. When that didn't work, the Federalists grew up, to be countered by the anti-Federalists. Which flamed out in such a manner that it is the source of the common knowledge that in politics you have to be for something and just not against something. In the vacuum of that collapse, the Democratic-Republicans formed, and they later became the Democratic party. Since then, there have been a number of 3rd parties come and go...

But there isn't anything special about the two party system. It is just what we trend towards.
