Partisan Political Analysis

The Federalists and Republicans had contrasting outlook on how the young nation’s government should function. Alexandra Hamilton’s Federalists were an advocate for a strong and centralize role of the government. Federalist’s vision for a stronger government who had the power to tax, make treaties, control exports/imports, and declare war. They believed the “elites” should rule over the masses because these individuals would most likely hold elective positions in government. As for Republicans led by Thomas Jefferson, featured a lesser role of the federal government and favored a strong state government. Republicans believed the states should hold more power to protect the subordinate farmer form the business capitalist. Also Jeffersonian Republicans yearned for a strict interpretation of the Constitution, while Federalists opted for a loose interpretation. This meant Republicans concluded the federal government can only operate under the powers expressed by the

He proposed that the federal government should establish a national bank that was modeled after England’s national bank. Many opposed this idea because they had just ended a war with England and did not want to have anything resembling Britain. Hamilton faced many obstacles while trying to create the Bank of the United States such as other political leaders, funding, and the constitution. The Republican party explained how it was unconstitutional for the federalist to create the national bank. Republicans claimed the bank would have too much power and would go against the implied powers from the constitution.

The reading on macropartisantish this week lead us to a simple conclusion and that is what is a good measure of partisanship. Measuring artisanship seem to be primordial to study that phenomenon. The first step in that study might be the conceptualization. The fight different between Mackuen, et al and Abramson and Ostrom was mainly about the source of the data. Asking question about someone partisanship or the party he usually affiliate himself to are 2 different things. Asking the first question might lead to bugger shift in partisanship in their result because people might change their affiliation based on current events or the economic performance of an incumbent candidate. To know if economic performance can lead to a change in macro partisanship

There have been many controversies since the United States declared independence in 1776. One of the many domestic issues that divided American citizens was developing the First National Bank in the late 1700s. Hamilton was in favor, while Jefferson opposed and American citizens chose their side based on what they believed what was best for the country. Hamilton proposed a Report on a National Bank in December of 1790 announcing what the National Bank would include. Hamilton’s proposal included, “The bank’s stock would be worth $10,000,000. 20,000 shares would be sold privately at $400 per share ... 5,000 shares or $2,000,000 of bank stock would be bought by the U.S. government. The bank would be run by a 25-man board of directors - 20 chosen by the shareholders and 5 by the government. The bank’s president would be elected by the board of directors. Notes and bills (money) issued by the bank would be redeemable on demand ... and would be accepted by the U.S. government for all payments due. The bank’s charter would run for 20 years and would be subject to renewal by Congress. The bank would be allowed to establish branch offices in other cities; its main branch would be in Philadelphia, the nation’s capital” (http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/teachers/lesson_plans/pdfs/unit3_ 4.pdf). Although the first part of the bank bill, establishing a national mint, did pass with ease, supporters and opposers debated the rest of the bill, which included the development of

     Jefferson, as a Republican, believed in a society that distrusted the rich and that was run by farmer-citizens. He was a strong supported of not the upper class but, "the people". A defender of human liberty, Jefferson believed in a minimum of government and favored power at the local level. Jefferson also believed that if people were given the opportunity, they would be decent and reasonable. Jeffersons supporting party disagreed with many of the things that Hamilton and the Federalists proposed and passed as laws, including the idea of the national bank. Madison, in fact, argued on behalf of the Republicans that the federal government had no righ to establish a federal bank because it was not among the enumerated powers of Congress found in the Constitution. The Republicans also ignored the Naturalization Act, nor

The Democratic-Republicans name was later shortened and they then became known as the Republican party. Jefferson and the Republican party feared the ratification of the new constitution, because it would put the most authority into the federal government, and would pose a threat to individual and state autonomy. Republicans believed that the federal government should not be able to infringe on the rights of the states and individuals, and because of this they demanded for the addition of a Bill of Rights to the constitution. This Bill of Rights would protect both state and individual’s rights, securing them so that they could not be revoked by the federal government. Additionally, Jefferson and the Republicans were opposed to the creation of national banks, claiming them unconstitutional. Republicans opposed the tariffs wanted by the Federalists, and Jefferson alleged that they were a violation of state’s rights. The Republicans were also westward expansionists; they believed in furthering the geographical growth of the country in order to increase areas for farmers, and to integrate western Indians into the

The Republicans, led by Jefferson and Madison, were supporters of States’ rights. They believed that the American Revolution occurred to free America from British control and allow the creation of a country led by self-governing people. The Federalists, led by Washington and Hamilton, agreed that the American Revolution took place to free America, but asserted that the newly freed needed a strong central government to provide guidance. THe debate that occurred over Hamilton’s proposed assumption plan is another prime example of the seat of power dispute. Hamilton proposed the national government to assume all the states’ debt incurred from the American Revolution. “Hamilton regarded the national debt as “a national blessing,” for it permitted the clustering of resources in the hands of a small group of enterprising men who would invest and not just spend it.”(Page 64) Madison believed this plan to be unfair to the states, mostly southern, that had already paid back large sums of their respective debts. “The assumption proposal therefore did them an injustice, by “compelling them, after having done their duty, to contribute to those states who have not equally done their duty.””(Page 57) The resulting Assumption Bill that was approved by Congress was a compromise that provided the Republicans the assurance of fairly distributed debt and the Federals a source of

In the following essay I will be talking about the disadvantages and advantages of partisan elections for state politics. I will also examine the last couple year's election results and costs. Finally, I will discuss if partisanship made a difference in the vote, as well as if a judge should be decided by partisan vote. In the next couple paragraphs I will talk more specifically about these topics.

After the War of 1812 the government had realized that it needed a national bank to regulate currency and the insurance of Government Bonds. A good majority of the public was against the ideal of a bank of the United states because it had limited them in their rights of buying land and to pay off debts. When

The Federalists and the Republicans had been disputing for a while. One of the disputes was over The Federal Government. Federalists favored a strong national government that would rule the citizenry directly rather than through the states and preferred a loose interpretation of the Constitution in order to manipulate things to go their way. Federalists were Pro-British. Republicans feared a strong national government would return the country to monarchy and trample on individual liberty, which is something they had fought towards for years. They believed in states’ rights and a strict interpretation of the Constitution. Republicans were generally Pro-French.

In an article by the Washington Post, Gary Johnson, former 2016 presidential candidate for the Libertarian Party, has announced that he will not be pursuing another presidential run in 2020. Johnson’s reasoning behind his decision is a result of the growing turmoil currently spreading throughout Washington politics. Johnson specifically blamed the turmoil on President Trump himself. In addition, the article explains that even though Johnson was unsuccessful in the road to the White House, he was arguably one of the most successful candidates in the history of the Libertarian Party. Likewise, Johnson had broke several barriers that casted greater light on the idea of voting for a third party candidate, rather than the candidates of the two mainstream parties. Also, Johnson who was former Republican Governor of New Mexico, explained his agreeance with Arizona’s Senator Jeff Flake in regards to Flakes predictions about the soon to be end of the Republican Party. Finally, Johnson explained that even though he does not support the actions of President Trump, he

The election and how government officials are elected is vital to the United States’ identity as a Democratic Republic. To fully understand whether the election is fair to the average American citizen, these four things need to be looked at and understood; the Democratic and Republican platforms and who the reader agrees with, the procedure and requirements for getting on the ballot to be elected into the House of Representatives, the many different parties of the United States, and the requirements and procedures for running for president. After each of these questions are acknowledged, it can be easily inferred that the current election system that is in place, is fair to American citizens.

The Political Spectrum consists of four quadrants: Authoritarian Right, Authoritarian Left, Libertarian Left, and Libertarian Right. The "x" axis of this graph represents economics with a left-right scale. The "y" axis depicts the social scale ranging from libertarian to authoritarian. I have been plotted at -3.88 (economic left/right), -3.54 (social libertarian/authoritarian) in the libertarian left quadrant.

The 2016 Presidential Election is one of the most interesting elections ever. The Republican Party, also known as the GOP is only one of the two major political parties. The other party is the Democratic Party.
