By appointing Abraham Lincoln to run against Stephen Douglas in the senate race.

Immigration takes place in many parts of the world. Currently Italy and Greece are receiving many immigrants from North Africa.With regards to the United States, it became "home" for millions of immigrants over the past 200 years. In the 19th century, and well into the 20th century many immigrants from Europe landed in the larger cities of the East coast of the US. There they found that, for the most part these large cities were controlled by the Democratic Party. It made sense to support this party as it was friendly to immigrants ( for the most part ) so it made commonsense to support the party that governed where many immigrants decided to stay. There were many jobs to be found in these east coast cities.

There are many generalized liberal party views. Some of these include a women's right to chose to have an abortion, helping disadvantaged people, as well as legalizing marijuana.

Jerry Brown believes in the most typical democratic stand point short of socialism. he's very bipartisan in that he doesn't much believe in anything other than trading green (which is evidently now a resource) for jobs, and state where the money is dying, making money through prop 19, and raising taxes for social programs. He also gets made fun of by the Jello Biafra, and the Dead Kennedys.

It may be because they are doing something with their money whereas many other wealthy people keep all their money to themselves and spend it on things that they don't need.

the whigs and democrats embraced the idea of popular sovereignty

The New Deal, a series of domestic laws passed by Congress and Executive Orders by the president were major accomplishments of the Democrats during Franklin Roosevelt's terms of office. Social Security was one of these.

If one is a socialist then perhaps they can find contribution in the writings and works of Jean Jacque Rousseau, but in general he contributed nothing to the United States, unless of course one is a socialist. Rousseau was a prominent French figure who wrote novels as well as philosophical works at the time of the French Revolution and up until his death in 1778. His political and philosophical views mostly stood in stark contrast to the 18th century political movement in America. While the Americans embraced the notion that people are born with inherent and inalienable rights, Rousseau adamantly rejected this view. While there are some similarities between 18th century American philosophy and Rousseau's it is the differences that disqualify him as influential in early American politics. Any contributions that may be claimed would be by the modern day socialists who favor his "Social Contract" whereby the people abandon their natural rights and subject themselves to the general will.

It could be argued that Rousseau's views on education have profoundly influenced modern American education, but the vast majority of his ideas are more prominently found in the public schools famous for dumbing down the public and not in the private schools famous for educating the elite. To claim Rousseau made contributions to our modern public school system is to find someone to blame outside of ourselves for the tragedy that is our public school system which in the end is nothing more than a massive babysitting firm for average Americans with children. Some of those children might learn a thing or two about Rousseau, Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, and Machiavelli, they will also learn how our country was founded by rich white slave owners, how the captains of industry who forged prosperity in this country were robber barons and how the socialist movement can't find any political footing in this country because of red baiting by the capitalist system where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

It is hard to find a private school in this country that has suffered the tragedy of school massacres such as Columbine. It is unlikely one will have to pass through a metal detector and negotiate the security guards that patrol public schools in a private school. The question of God in the classroom is a moot point in private schools as the school either preaches God or they don't and those parents who shop for private schools have a choice in the matter. Not so for the parents of children who attend public schools. In the public school system, the individual has abandoned his natural right to be educated and subjected himself to the general will known as School administrators and the PTA. If the socialists believe that the modern public school system is a shining example of Rousseau's influence then they condemn him as just another high minded idiot who so reviles the people in their modern form he had developed a social contract to replace the earlier divine right contract so many tyrants had relied upon, where he alone has the answer for all of us idiots who couldn't possibly survive or obtain happiness without his approval. It is the common characteristic of all utopian's that they necessarily place themselves above the mindless wickedness of the people who could not be trusted without their guidance.

Olivia Wilde, Oprah Winfrey, Alex Baldwin, George Clooney, Jennifer Aniston, Barbara Streisand, Chris Rock, Scarlett Johansson, Rosie O'Donnell, Zach Braff, Edward Norton, Jessica Alba, etc. A large majority of celebrities have democratic views.

No, because it was pro-slavery.

That is a good question, and a lot depends on how you ask it. This is because in the United States the two national parties are actually 50 state parties and territories like Puerto Rico. And each state has its own rules as to who is a member of a party. In Texas, for example, you declare your party membership by voting in that party's primary election. If you vote in the Republican primary, you are a Republican, and if you vote in the Democratic Party's primary you are a Democrat. And you can change when the next primary rolls around.

But other states, such as New York, Nevada and California, require you to register as a Democrat or as a Republican or other party, including the Green Party, the Libertarian Party or even register as non-partisan (an independent.) They do have hard statistics on who considers themselves as a Democrat or a Republican, but also have good evidence that folks go out and vote whatever way they wish.

In the 2008 Presidential Election you could say that Barack Obama, the Democrat, received 69,456,897 votes and John McCain, the Republican received 59,934,814 votes. But this does not tell the tale effectively either. A lot of American voters consider themselves as independents. That is, the are not a member of either party. Or any party.

My own estimation is that about 39% of voters consider themselves Democrats and about 35% of people consider themselves Republicans. The rest (26%) are independents. How do I come to these numbers? By watching polls on politicians who are 'obviously guilty' of some naughty act. Those are the numbers that usually turn up as supporters of the 'obviously guilty' one. The true believers. And that, I think, is the best way of telling how many people support which side.

anything that describes a person

by not making stupid decisions, remove illegal immigrants who drain our resources and cause crime, stay out of foreign affairs unless asked to by that government, less strict gun laws that already have no purpose, less involvement in the public laws, and more effort in fixing the economy.
