Liberals had dominated American society for most of the 1900s. The 1960s was widely known for being the age of counterculture, social reforms, and liberals. The era witnessed many advancements like racial equality such as the Voting Rights Act of 1965, a strong advancement in political liberalism, and a significant increase in the power and influence of government-funded social programs as a result of Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society reforms. Beginning with the election of Nixon, however, followed a gradual return to conservatism whether religiously, politically, or economically. The resurgence of conservatism in American politics and government in the years 1964-2005, was caused in

Dealignment has contributed to the decilne in political parties because it has caused an increase in split-ticket voting and people have started to identify themselves as independents instead of part of a major political party. Political machines have also contributed to the decline of political parties because they were ran by a specific person, taking power away from the political groups.

I unfortunately lost in the primary elections. I personally did not know how I lost because I had the best slogan ever and that was, “Cope gives you Hope.” Because I chose that position, I got to review cases and represent people and I was able to sit in on a case that was presented to the Boys State Justices at the Capital building in the Nebraska State Court.

After the Republican takeover of Congress in the 1994 midterms, Newt Gingrich, a Republican from Georgia, assumed the Speakership and with it, the congressional agenda. He took bold action on an array of matters, but when it came to DADT, it quickly became clear that he had to retreat. On April 2, 1995, Gingrich declared that Congress would put back in place a definite ban on gays in the military, but took back his statement only two days later in the wake of political reality. There was a “conspicuous absence of political support for reopening the contentious issue . . . even among conservative Republicans” (Towell 1036). Once Clinton made the decision to compromise, it satisfied enough people to be kept in place, and there was not

You could say the United States was a little crazy the night of November 7, 2000. We were awaiting the announcement of our 43rd President of the United States. We didn’t know it would come down to one state; a very crucial, Florida. There was a whole recount controversy, voting malfunctions, and basically everything that could go wrong, went wrong.

The history of political parties in the United States has always hinged upon the key sectarian differences of the times in which such parties were existent. The very foundation of political parties in this country, which began with the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists, is demonstrative of this fact as those two groups were largely split on the issue of national versus states' rights and the implementation of a national bank. As the country matured from its initial beginnings in the latter part of the 18th century, the issues of sectarian differences evolved to include key aspects of sectional proclivities between the North and the South, and the impact of those differences on the burgeoning western portion of the U.S. The South favored slavery and the economic prosperity it brought to that region, whereas the North was in favor of the elimination of slavery and a transition to a more industrial economy. These sectarian distinctions were largely manifested in the political parties of the day, and explain the rise and dissolution of the national Democratic Party, which yielded to the Republican Party whose highly influential president Abraham Lincoln's election was integral in the loss of the Union and the beginning of the Civil War.

Last year’s circumstance was the first of its kind in over a century. There have been many close elections, but none have resulted in the popular candidate losing to his opponent. The Electoral College cast the final vote in that election. The people who went out to the polls in November, many of whom believing that they were indeed voting for

The recent 2015 federal election saw a dramatic change in the Canadian political landscape. The Conservative party, the governing party of Canada for the past decade, was thoroughly defeated with the Liberals, who had, in relation to seats, been in third place, gaining a majority and subsequently forming government. The reasons for this defeat are examined in the editorial: Why the Conservatives lost, and how they can win again.

Political dysfunction is no surprise to the American Populace; in fact, today it’s almost expected. As we see with the fairly recent presidential elections between Republican Nominee [now president] Donald Trump and Democratic Nominee and Senator Hilary Clinton, our current political system is amuck. It is asinine, it’s crazy, it is viscous, and above all else, it is in shambles. This paves the way for the million-dollar question we are all left racking our brains to answer – what happened to us? This question, along with the answers to such is examined by author Mike Lofgren in his book The Party is Over, and is the topic of this essay paper. More specifically, today I would like to dive a bit deeper and explore the answer to a question a

For the record, I don't think either party should be doing this. However, it is very hypocritical of the Democrats to say that the Republicans are obstructionists when the Democrats advocated the same thing against an outgoing Republican President. The lack of maturity on both sides is mind-boggling. Good grief people! If you advocated one position and flipped on it later, then don't lie about it. Tell what your original position was and state why you were wrong at that time or why you changed your position. It is this type of behavior that makes people not trust politicians.

The Republican Party's central leader by 1980 was Ronald Reagan, whose conservative policies called for reduced government spending and regulation, lower taxes, and a strong anti-Soviet foreign policy.

One of my biggest lessons learned from this experience is that knowing the resident of your district can be extremely beneficial to your campaign. At my location we cast one thousand nine hundred and eighteen ballots. While I’m against stereotyping I found it ironic that most of the people who came in you could intuit which party they were going to participate in. The lady with awesome tattoos and purple hair wasn’t most likely to identify with a conservative republican; likewise the older authentic rancher was not very likely to be a liberal. That day I had the privilege of helping a new citizen vote for the very first time. She got dressed up in her nicest clothes and was on the verge of tears, because she was so excited. I also observed that many multi-generational families tended to participate in the same party. I encountered a few hard headed almost embarrassed people who believed they didn’t need to disclose what party they wanted to participate in, but overall it was an amazing day that won’t be soon forgotten. The amount of behind the scenes work that is required by the county is almost unfathomable and I’m grateful to all of the logistics it takes to allow people to participate in

November 8th and 9th are considered two of the most important days that will determine where this country’s political future will head. Between midnight and the early hours of November 9th the final results had come in declaring that Donald Trump had won the presidency with 290 electoral votes to Clintons 232 electoral votes. This had sent a shock wave throughout the country some asking how something like this could happen and others celebrating the new president elect. There were many many factor that lead to the down fall of Hilary Clinton and the rise of our new president elect Donald Trump.

Since the birth of America men have divided themselves into different parties to come up with ideas that would better the nation and themselves. George Washington, in his farewell address, warned Americans about the problems that would accompany political parties, but no one listened. Instead many different political parties began to slowly develop overtime causing many major and minor divisions. The rise of the Republican Party came about at the nation’s darkest and most divided hour, but they began the hard, war-torn steps of putting the Union back together.
