  1. Political Parties Miss Z C104

  2. “It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions.” Who do you think said this?

  3. Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay FEDERALIST PAPER NO. 9 • A firm union acts to prevent domestic faction and insurrection. FEDERALIST PAPER NO. 10 • A well-constructed union would break and control the violence of faction, a "dangerous vice" in popular governments.

  4. There have been five party system “phases” since 1792.

  5. FIRST PARTY SYSTEM (1792 – 1824)

  6. Federalists v. Anti-Federalists Federalists — Strong central government, close ties to Britain, an effective banking system, and close links between government and “men of wealth.” Anti-Federalists — Weak central government, no ties with Britain, no federal banking system, and separation of government and wealth.

  7. SECOND PARTY SYSTEM (1828 – 1854)

  8. Jackson-Democrats v. Whigs Democrats: • Primacy of the presidency over other branches of government • Opposed the bank of the united states • Opposed modernizing programs that would build up industry using taxes Whigs: • Advocated primacy of congress over presidency • Supported modernization policies and economic protectionism.

  9. THIRD PARTY SYSTEM (1854 – 1890s)

  10. Republicans v. Democrats Republicans • Anti-Slavery • Whig economic policies Democrats • Conservative and pro-business • Supported modernization policies.

  11. FOURTH PARTY SYSTEM (1896 – 1932)

  12. Republicans v. Democrats • Progressive Movement • Railroad Regulation • Gold v. Silver • Labor unions • Racial Segregation • Woman’s Suffrage • Immigration

  13. FIfthPARTY SYSTEM (1933 – present)

  14. Democrats v. Republicans • Emerged with the New Deal Coalition • Major shift in realignment of Southern voting — Southerners felt the Civil Rights Movement was a direct political assault on their interests, so they began to vote Republican. • The modern political system is still largely centered around Democrats versus Republicans, but many political scientists suggest that the U.S. is moving towards voting on issues, rather than party loyalty.
