Are there any connections or similarities among the federalists democratic-republicans democrats or modern day republicans regarding national issues?

yes and it is quite interesting the federalists then which evolved into the more liberal democrats you see today where much more conservative and then where essentially republicans except for the strong national government issue. It also works vice versa Lincoln, the first republican was very liberal but republicans now who say they believe in the power of the common man make it very hard to give the common man any power for example they support the electoral college. Its a broken system where if your in a red state and you cast a blue vote that blue vote doesn't count!!!!! They also say there for personal rights but they oppose abortion rights. Its strange how these things turn out eh'?

What is the orgin of the color scheme of the presidential parties?

Prior to the 2000 presidential election, there was no universally recognized color scheme to represent political parties in the United States. The practice of using colors to represent parties on electoral maps dates back at least as far as 1908, when the New York Times printed a special color map using yellow and blue to detail Roosevelt's 1904 electoral victory. Later, in the 1950s, color-coding as a format was employed within the Hammond series of historical atlases. Color-based schemes became more widespread with the adoption of color television in the 1960s and nearly ubiquitous with the advent of color in newspapers. A three-color scheme-red, white and blue, the colors of the U.S. flag-makes sense, and the third color, white, is useful in depicting maps showing states that are "undecided" in the polls and in election-night television coverage. Early on, some channels used a scheme of red for Democrats and blue for Republicans. The first television news network to use colors to depict the states won by presidential candidates was NBC. In 1976, John Chanellor, the anchorman for theNBC Nightly News, asked his network's engineers to construct a large electronic map of the USA. The map was placed in the network's election-night news studio. If Jimmy carter, the Democratic candidate that year, won a state it would light up in red; if Gerald Ford, the Republican, carried a state it would light up in blue. The feature proved to be so popular that four years later all three major television networks would use colors to designate the states won by the presidential candidates. NBC continued to use the color scheme employed in 1976 for several years; NBC newsman David Brinkley famously referred to the 1980 election map as showing Ronald Regan's 44-state landslide as a "sea of blue". CBS, from 1984 through 2008, used the opposite scheme-blue for Democrats, red for Republicans. ABC used yellow for one major party and blue for the other in 1976. However, in 1980 and 1984, ABC used red for Republicans and blue for Democrats. As late as 1996, there was still no universal association of one color with one party. If anything, by 1996, color schemes were relatively mixed, as CNN, CBS, ABC, and The New York Times referred to Democratic states with the color blue and Republican ones as red, while Time Magazine and the Washington Post used an opposite scheme. In 2000, for the first time, all major electronic media outlets used the same colors for each party, most likely as a result of the official colors for the presidential candidates, with Gore's campaign using blue lawn signs and imagery and Bush's using red. Partly as a result of this near-universal color-coding, the terms "Red States" and "Blue States" entered popular usage in the weeks following the 2000 presidential elaction. Additionally, the closeness of the disputed election kept the colored maps in the public view for longer than usual. Journalists began to routinely refer to "blue states" and "red states," even before the 2000 election was settled. After the results were final, journalists stuck with the color scheme, such as The Atlanic's cover story by David Brooks in the December 2001 issue entitled, "One Nation, Slightly Divisible." Thus, red and blue became fixed in the media and in many people's minds despite the fact that no "official" color choices had been made by the parties. By Dina Jones Email:dinashanicejones@live.com

What is difference between a Socialist and a Democrat?

Socialists want major industries owned and controlled by the government rather than by individual people and companies. Socialists want a governmental system that advocates community ownership of land and businesses. Socialism is the opposite of capitalism. Democrats believe in central planning and want major industries such as healthcare owned and controlled by the government rather than by individual people and companies. Democrats advocate a governmental system of community ownership of land and businesses; Democrats advocate Obamacare vs private medicine. Democrats do night believe in the Constitution, separation of powers, the Bill of Rights, or rule of law. Democrats despise capitalism.

Under Socialism man exploits man. Under the Democratic Party it's the other way around.

What was the organization of the Athenian democratic system?

The word democracy comes from two Greek words meaning People Power. In its radical form it was a fortnightly assembly of all the (male) citizens where they considered and decided on matters put before them and raised by them. The Council of 500 carried out the Assembly's decisions and handled daily problems between meetings. The law courts, which were considered to be part of the political process, had juries of 500, with no judges or lawyers to interfere; they voted on cases brought before them and awarded punishments or payments to be made.

The Council and other office bearers were chosen by lot from the citizens, except for the 10 generals who were elected one from each tribe. They were too smart to be led in war by someone selected by lot, and usually when the Assembly made a significant decision, it had a rider 'the general to implement' even though it might be a non-military matter.

He's democrat with a small "d", probably more centrist views politically than anything else. However, he's also a moderate muslim - but not part of the Nation of Islam, more a personal religious choice - so not likely to be courted/wooed by the Republicans anyway.

Why did Marxist call themselves socialist and social democrats?

I am sure they could decide to call themselves whatever they wanted. In some places calling a Social Democrat a "Marxist" would be fightin' words.

What names political movements embrace depend on the time (what century, what decade) and the place (what country) and the current political environment.

Lots of names chosen in the past are not instructive as to political decisions today.
