At first our two party system was between the Federalist and the Anti-federalist. These two parties are more commonly known today as the Republican and Democratic parties respectively. It was Thomas Jefferson and James Madison who organized them into the Democratic-Republican party. This party favored states' rights and followed the constitution strictly. The Republicans believe to create a stonger national government.
In the past I would have been a Democrat. The Democrats wanted to support the South during slavery before the Civil War. They also wanted voting rights for all males. The Democrats support the hard workers such as small farmers. They care for the people who work very hard and try to make their voice be heard.
In the present I am a Democrat because I am a hard worker in the small town. Another reason why I am a Democrat is that I favored Stephanie more than Kristi. I do believe that helping our business's out of trouble is somewhat of a good thing, but I think that we need to worry more about the common folk. They people who work hard and don't really get a voice. For the people who farm and other people don't appreciate the food in which they get.
In the future I have no idea where I will be standing on this issue. Things change and so do people. It might also have to do with the fact of who is running for office and what there views on making America better are. I still might be a Democrat or may switch over. Also in the future these two parties might change names, divide into more parties, or merge together.
