From all of that came the not so suspiring results that were kind of a suspires for me. The reason for that was I did not even know that they had a candidate let a lone that it was even on the ballot. So that is were my research began.

Then when I went back to look in to it on lets say the green party it only seem to see either the yes or the no and not looking at everything else I had put in to the anwncer.

    The future of our nation and our democracy depends upon the next generation of electorates. In the ABC documentary An Uneducated Electorate Promotes Democracy's Demise by John Stossel, Richard Dreyfus discusses how uninformed, apathetic, and uninterested electorates will ultimately lead to the demise of the United States’ form of democracy. Moreover, the fault also lies in current cable shows that misinform the majority of impressionable and easily manipulated electorates. As the foundation of our government lies within the citizens, an incognizant electorate will jeopardize and threaten our democracy. Education plays a part in the foundation of democracy.…

    Partisan Politics occurs when one political party does not agree with another political party and is unwilling to compromise his political beliefs. The year 1790 was the birth year of partisan politics in the United States just as Washington’s presidency was coming to a close. The two factions emerging would be the Federalists in support of Alexander Hamilton and those opposing were the Democratic-Republicans that were led by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. The Federalists believed in a strong central government that centered around the rich and elite, along with a need for economic growth. The Republicans believed that a strong central government would only oppress or restrict the rights of citizens.…

    “The fundamental characteristic of the Constitution is distrust.” A statement, if nothing else, as bold as the Framers who lead the revolution. As petrifying as the statement is, it is true. The framers feared a repeat of history, and rightfully so, because many governments had quickly risen and fallen equally as fast. As a result, distrust was what powered the writing of the United States’ Constitution.…

    The existence of political parties can be dated back to the pre-revolutionary Whigs and Tories that arrived to the colonies from Great Britain. As the need for a division in politics subsided, these parties became less official factions. However, when the issues of the territory began to change, the presence of factions began to change. The evolution of factions into rivaling political parties in the 1790s resulted from contrasting views between Thomas Jefferson’s Republicans and Alexander Hamilton’s Federalists due to different beliefs in regards to the Constitution’s power and the impact of foreign policy and economic growth on the young United States.…

    The framers of the Constitution were visionaries who sought to establish a limited representative government which not only restricted the powers of an existing government, but also safeguarded the rights of the minority through restricting majority rule. A republic, they believed, would be the only form of government in which the liberty of the people could be preserved. Greatly influenced by the 17th century British philosopher John Locke, who advocated for the protection of natural rights of man by entering into a social contract, separation of governmental powers, and individuals’ right to consent to being governed, the founding fathers were able to incorporate such teachings into the Constitution of the United States. The American founders…

    In 1787, the Continental Congress was brought together in the Philadelphia Convention to revise the Articles of Confederation. The Constitution was written and since people had different views on how to interpret it, two political parties were eventually formed: The federalists and the Democratic-Republicans. The main reason for the rise of political parties during the 1790s was because each of the parties favored different political and economical reforms needed as a new, developing country. Alexander Hamilton led the Federalists and they favored a loose interpretation of the Constitution, while Thomas Jefferson and the Democratic-Republican Party favored strict interpretation. The Federalists wanted to create a national economy by creating…

    The History of the Constitutional Convention In 1787, Congress realized that states governing themselves would leave the nation powerless when faced with another war. The United States had adopted the Articles of Confederation a decade prior, but the system wasn’t working. Each state was able to govern itself, and they didn’t have to abide by any regulations set by the federal government. The United States has a federalist government, meaning that the citizens are held to the laws of the state and the nation, but the federal government was left nearly powerless to enforce any type of authority. Congress had no way of being able to regulate commerce and no authority to emplace taxes.…

One that was strong enough to control a large geographic region and its people, but not strong enough to morph into a tyranny. This was the birth of the constitution, proposed by the Federalists, which was to be a foundation for the future United States of America, a foundation that would one day be the “supreme law of the land” that offered liberties only provided in the United States of America. After the creation of the constitution, in order for it to replace the current regime, it needed to be ratified by at least nine states, this lead to the Anti-Federalist papers and Federalist papers, one advocating for the…
