“From the admission of Texas as a state to the beginning of the Civil War, the Democratic Party was dominant across the state”. (footnote pg. 42). Prior to the Civil War, the Democrats only real competition (if you could even call it competition) was considered to be the Whig’s Party candidates. The Whig Party’s stance and opposition to the admission of slave-owning states such as Texas into the Union was part of the problem they had getting any support out of Texas. One has to remember that Texas is a state where Juneteenth is celebrated; a historically holiday where slaves were told that they had been declared free men and women two years AFTER the Emancipation Proclamation was in effect. With that being said, Texas wasn’t keen on some of the stances from said Whig Party. The

Radical Republicans, who identified as the anti-slavery and pro-reconstruction wing of the Republican party, were another key group driving transformations in the country during this time. They had a bold agenda: to punish the south for the Civil War, ensure the complete elevation of former slaves to the current standards of American society, and to prevent the Democrats from ever gaining another foothold in the south. To do this, they set out to pass the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments. The amendments forbade slavery in the United States, guaranteed equal protection under the law and citizenship to anyone born in the United States, and ensured the right to vote for all men over the age of 21, respectively. They also supported the Freedman’s Bureau,

Did you know that the current leader of the New Democratic Party used to be a Liberal? Thomas Mulcair became the leader of the New Democratic Party after the death of Jack Layton. The New Democratic Party (NDP) is one of the major federal political parties in Canada. The NDP was formed in 1961 as the result of the merger of two different parties. There are numerous reasons why the people of Canada should vote for the NDP. Citizens of Canada should vote for the New Democratic Party because if elected, they promise to improve the environmental situation, provide better health care for Canadians, and improve the economy in Canada.

I believe that before the presidential election of 2008 the group of people who would most likely vote is people ranging from 30 to 65 years old. The reason is people usually around 30 to 65 years old are in a stage of their life where they’ve established their homes, probably have a stable job, and settled in their communities. So, those who usually come from a stable community roots are more likely to have reason and greater resources to becoming involved in politics and to vote. However, over the recent years younger generations are starting to vote because of mobilization through social media. This new technology allows candidates to really engage the younger people by websites like Facebook which will help them become informed on polls,

For the first half of the 20th century the democrats were by and large KKK members who despised blacks and from every administration from Lincoln to Johnson the dems fought tooth and nail against blacks getting freedom and civil rights. The Democratic Party was in fact so racist that until 1924 blacks were even permitted to attend Democratic conventions in any official capacity.

Political parties developed in the United States mostly because of differences between Hamilton and Jefferson and how they the government should run. Hamilton and Jefferson disagreed on most of the issues. Having different parties allows us to have our own opinion so you can say what we want to say. To have what we want to say we have the freedom of speech. This is why I believe political parties developed in the United States.

To begin with, the candidates for the president election must first go through the requirements of the U.S constitution. For instance, the U.S constitution states, “the president must be a natural born citizen of the united states, be at least 35 years of ages, and have been a resident of the united states for 14 years” (Presidential Election). Hence, the president must go through these requirements in order to declare their intention of running for the president of the United States without being turned down. With that being said, “Candidates who receive contributions or make expenditures in excess of $5,000 must register with the Federal Election Commission” (Quick Answers). In addition, “within 15 days of reaching the threshold, the candidates

The issue during this period that most bothering the agrarian farmers was that of the currency issue, or more specifically the issue of silver. As seen in Document A, the platform of the Populist party greatly surrounded the concept of greenbacks as a way to provide an easy exit for the debt-trapped farmers. In addition to the idea of greenbacks, the concept of silver as “coin since the dawn of history (Document A)” is a great concern of this party. One major tactic of this party was the “Crime of ‘73” which was an attempt of the Westerners to bring silver back and similar to the demand for greenbacks, was the farmer way of trying to promote inflation, something detrimental to the American economy. This rational explanation against silver is also seen in Document B, where William McKinley, creator of the McKinley Tariff, a tariff that greatly impacted farmers for the worse, describes the negative effects of silver being, “It would not make farming less laborious or more profitable.. (Document B),” a statement, while true, not accepted by farmers nor the Populist party. McKinley instead claims that “Good money [gold] never made times

-Mr.Justin Trudeau was elected as Prime Minister. That marked a change in government, from Conservative to Liberal government The Conservative party was in power from February 6, 2006 until November 4, 2015.

Political parties developed in the United States because all Americans wanted the United States to succeed and to grow to be a strong, prosperous nation. While this was happening there were disagreements about the best way to make this happen. I’ve gathered information from 8 documents to tell you about these disagreements. In document 1, Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson were going through many disagreements because Hamilton wanted to develop good relations with Britain and Jefferson supported strong ties with France.

The Four Political Parties of Canada       In a country as vast and as culturally diverse as Canada, many different political opinions can be found stretched across the country. From the affluent neighbourhoods of West Vancouver to the small fishing towns located on the east coast of Newfoundland, political opinions and affiliations range from the left wing to the right wing. To represent these varying political views, Canada has four official national political parties to choose from: the Liberals (who are currently in power), the Progressive Conservatives, the New Democrats, and the Reform Party. What is particularly interesting is that none of the latter three parties compose Her Majesty's Official Opposition in the House

Social political. My socio-political position has often been aligned with that of my parents. As a middle-class family, they have always voted for the Liberal political party of Canada. I have voted for Liberal in the past election. I believe that this party has a platform that is closely aligned with my beliefs and values. The current political party has made a priority to engage with younger Canadian citizens, as we are the future and hold an important role. There is importance for the missing and murdered indigenous women, preventing domestic violence and sexual assault, post-secondary education for those who cannot afford it, promoting health, and help with employment. These are all things that must be improved and changed in our society

That public anger and energy, however, seems to have lost steam over the past few years, especially after the pro-nuclear Liberal Democratic Party returned to power in December 2012.

The Democratic Party today is facing many problems many of which, can be overcome. As the head of the Democratic Party I have solutions to the problems that we face as a party. The main obstacles that we face today include: increasing our voter turnout, attracting new millennial voters and securing the Latino vote in the upcoming election. If these issues are addressed we are on track to have a very successful election.
