How did the Democratic Party form?

Answer 1

It started around the time of Andrew Jackson as a group that wanted the states to have fewer rights and the government to have more control. Now it has become less democratic and more liberal, in some cases advocating outright communist policies and regulating the economy to death.(that's why there is so little business growth)

Answer 2

To enlighten the uninformed and misinformed, to the reality of corruption found within the government. They banded together to protect the common good of the whole country and its people, rather than the selfish interests of the few. Many in government were so self-consumed with power that they would, by today's standards, be considered to be psychopaths; without empathy towards their fellow citizen.

Answer 3

The Democratic party is over 200 years old as the Republican; however, the party became popular after women's suffrage act passed under President Woodrow Wilson's presidency. The party has since been recognized as a minority represented political party.

Answer 4

The name change has to do with an ideological split in the party regarding the successor to President James Monroe and that the only competing party (Federalist) had disbanded some 12 years previously. The Democrats supported Andrew Jackson and those that didn't became the National Republicans better known as the Whigs.
