More about Democratic Party
The Democratic Party is one of the two major contemporary political parties in the United States. The party's main counterpart is the Republican Party. The modern Democratic Party is considered to be the older of the nation's two major political parties. The party's principal governing organization is the Democratic National Committee (DNC), which is responsible for overseeing the process of writing and promoting the party platform every four years and providing national leadership surrounding campaign, fundraising, political activity and election strategy.
The party generally supports a left-leaning, liberal platform on the American political spectrum with an emphasis on the role of the federal government in promoting social and economic welfare.
Party members typically but do not always or uniformly favor the following policy positions. All positions are taken from the Democratic Party's 2016 platform:
"Americans should be able to access public coverage through a public option, and those over 55 should be able to opt in to Medicare";
"Ensure those at the top contribute to our country’s future by establishing a multimillionaire surtax to ensure millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share";
"Every woman should have access to quality reproductive health care services, including safe and legal abortion";
"Slash carbon pollution and protect clean air at home, lead the fight against climate change around the world";
"Expand and strengthen background checks and close dangerous loopholes in our current laws concerning firearms";
"We will seek to safeguard vulnerable minorities, including LGBT people and people with disabilities."
History
Both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party trace their roots to the Democratic-Republican Party, which was founded in 1792 in opposition to George Washington's Federalist Party. Thomas Jefferson was an early leader of the Democratic-Republicans and the party's first president. Support for the Federalist Party waned following the War of 1812, ushering in a period of uncontested Democratic-Republican rule.
After the presidential election of 1824 pit four Democratic-Republican candidates against one another, the party split as members coalesced around winner John Quincy Adams or runner-up Andrew Jackson. The former group established the short-lived National Republican Party, a forerunner to the Whig Party and, eventually, the modern Republican Party. The latter group became known as Jacksonian Democrats before shortening their name to the Democratic Party, formally adopting the title in 1844.
The Democratic Party is represented by the donkey, dating to Adams supporters calling Andrew Jackson a "jackass" in the 1828 presidential election. Jackson embraced the name, even including a donkey on campaign posters. Political cartoonist Thomas Nast began using the donkey to represent the Democratic Party as a whole in the 1870s.
In the 1840s and 1850s, the Democratic Party experienced conflict over the question of extending slavery to the Western territories. The unresolved dispute caused the party to split in the 1860 presidential election. The party's fracture set the stage for the election of the first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln. Bitterness over the Civil War and post-war Reconstruction motivated Southern states to primarily support the Democratic Party for the next 100 years, during which time they wielded considerable control over the party.
By the 1900s, the Democratic Party had evolved from its original platform and began to favor more government oversight and regulation in business and economic affairs. The progressive policies of the Wilson administration initiated the transition, which deepened with the establishment of various social assistance programs after the Great Depression. During this period, the Democratic Party began to embrace a more liberal interpretation of the United States Constitution.
Religious affiliation also contributed to the evolution of the Democratic Party. Republicans were primarily Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregationalist, while most Democrats were Catholic, Episcopalian and German Lutheran. Because of this sharp division, issues like prohibition became difficult to negotiate. Republicans believed that the government should be involved in moral issues, such as alcohol consumption, while Democrats felt that the government should not make religious or moral legislation.
