1,336 Questions
What was the democratic position on the economy?
That government should be the controlling and regulating authority.
government involvement would be dangerous to individual freedom.
When did the Democratic Party start?
Thomas Jefferson and James Madison started the Democratic-Republican party. When the parties split the democratic side was led by Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren.
I'm not sure that's an accurate statement. More accurate would be to say that certain regions of the United States (for example, the Northeast) tend to vote liberal, whereas other parts of the country (for example, the Deep South) tend to vote conservative. And while Americans are generally moderate on some issues, there is quite a divide between religious conservatives (especially Christian conservatives) and Americans who consider themselves not very religious. So, yes, you can find plenty of liberals in America (the term for where they live is "blue states"); but you can also find plenty of conservatives (who tend to live in what is called "red states").

Intergovernmental revenues are generally intended for?

Was Jefferson Davis a Democrat?
No, Davis was a democrat. He served as a democratic senator for Mississippi during the 1850's. It is a common misconception that Republicans have always been the party associated with racial intolerance. Up until the early-to-mid 20th century, the two main political parties' stances on race relations were the opposite of what they are depicted as today.
What was the main issue in the Democratic Party's platform in 1864?
The main or center piece of the Democratic Party;s platform for the 1864 presidential election was a controversial one. The Democratic delegates to the convention wanted a cease fire in the US Civil War and a negotiated settlement with the Confederacy. George B. McClellan was voted to be the presidential nominee.
What does the Democratic Party stand for?
Political parties in the United States of America all have the same role. They seek to get elected to office to carry out a specific set of policies represented by the people who vote for them.
The specific set of policies that the Democratic Party represent include a respect for government and a belief in the role of government in allowing individuals to achieve their goals. Democrats look at government as a practical tool that helps people embrace life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Democratic party policies are different from the Green Party or the Republican Party, but they are not vastly different. There are too many accepted beliefs held by the vast majority of Americans for the differences to be too great.
Was Susan B. Anthony a republican or a democrat?
Susan B Anthony was a Republican, This is consistent with the Republican Party's consistent support of basic individual rights including the abolition of slavery while the Democrat party supported slavery.
In the era before the American Civil War, Anthony took a prominent role in the New York anti-slavery and temperance movements. In 1836, at age 16, Susan collected two boxes of petitions opposing slavery.
Was the Democratic Party the same as the Democratic-Republican Party?
Yes they are. Just use your critical thinking and it all becomes very obvious. The Republican and Democratic parties are tools the American government uses to brainwash the American people. What happens when you have two parties that represent the two sides of the political spectrum, is that you keep the American people divided in their opinions, disabling them to fight back against a corrupt system. In the Republican and Democratic system, the media controls the information fed to the American public - controlled by the politicans and lobbyists of both parties. This gives the Democratic and Republican system the ability to demonize anyone, persuade people's opinions, and even hide information by not talking about it. All in the means of getting you to think what they want you to think about politics, society, and the rest of the world. It is very likely that both parties plan the same scheme, especially considering that they both meet at the Bohemian Grove where politicians have historically had Masonic rituals (the same place where the Manhattan Project was made).
Democrats have always been a racist party.
The party formed to commit genocide on the American Indians with the "Trail of Tears." Then they promoted a war to keep and spread slavery to the western territories. President Franklin Roosevelt(D) sent 120,000 Asians to gulags during WWII and nominated a Ku Klux Klansman to sit on the US Supreme Court. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that Democrats repeatedly put a Klansman in the line of Presidential Succession.

Are Federalists like Democrats or Republicans?
Poop...
Poop...
Poop... <3
Just kidding..
They both had the same opinion on preservation of liberty, and effects on human nature.
What type of government did North Korea have during the Korean War?
In 1950, the South Korean government was an AUTOCRACY. While South Korea was officially a democracy, there was no rule of law and the "Presidents" wielded levels of power similar to any other dictator. It was only in 1986 that South Korea became a liberal democracy.
How did the Democrat-Republicans and the Federalists view the electorate?
They viewed it as a good source for the American colonies. They needed to find a good way to choose a leader for their country, and in response, asked the common people to vote or choose their leader.
Democratic ideals are the beliefs that support democracy. The founders of our country believed that these were essential for democracy to function as it does. Democratic ideals can be found in both the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. The most common ones are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Others include all people are equal, political rights, the right to food, to right to work, and the right to practice culture
By most people, yes. He ran as a moderate, and governed as a moderate, especially in his consistent balanced budgets and the fact he signed the welfare reform bill. To many on the conservative fringe, of course, he's a flagrant liberal, but then, so is John McCain.
Why do most Hispanics prefer to vote Democrat?
A major reason Latinos favor Democratic candidates is immigration issues. In the 2012 election, the economy and jobs are top issues for Latinos, but a candidate's position on immigration can alienate Latinos. The Democrats almost always have a more favorable position on immigration than the Republicans do.
Does the Democratic Party support same-sex marriage?
Yes. In 2012, the official Party Platform of the National Democratic Party included the legalization of same-sex marriage.
In a CNN poll conducted April 9-10, 2011, 64% of Democrats said they supported same-sex marriage.
There are, however, some Democrats, including elected officials, who oppose the legalization of same-sex marriage.
Can you vote for one party in the primary and vote for another party in the general election?
Yes, for closed primaries you are only allowed to vote for candidates who are in the same party as the voter. In an open primary, like a general election, any registered voter is allowed to vote for the candidates on the ballot. The difference between open primaries and general elections is that open primaries include only candidates from one party that all registered voters can choose from, while in the general elections, candidates can come from several parties, with all registered voters eligible to choose the one of their choice, regardless of their primary choices.
