During the period of 1801-1817, the clash of the Republican views on the constitution were argued against the opinions of the Federalist. The Republicans believed in interpreting the constitution strictly, meaning that Congress or the President define the constitution as is- word for word, while the Federalist party held the opinions of broad constructionists, that Congress or the President had the right to interpret the constitution based on connotation. The Jeffersonian Republicans are usually characterized as strict constructionists who were opposed to broad constructionism of the Federalis...
The Framers of the Constitution had the large job of producing a new government, different from the Articles Of Confederation, that would unite a newly born country, freed from the tyrant King of England. This government have to appease both sides and resemble a working model that showed potential and showed promise that the recent chain of events would never happen, or have to happen again.

Upon reading the two policy documents, A National Foreign Strategy of Engagement and Enlargement by the Clinton administration, and The National Foreign Strategy of the United States of America by the Bush administration, one may come to the conclusion that both documents address the same issues from the same perspective. Actually, the Bush's foreign policy appears as a "rough draft- of the Clinton's foreign policy, because it seems to utilize the basic outlines of the Clinton's policy. The only difference seems to be that the Clinton's foreign policy document is more organized and detailed, w...

By 1934, the United States, along with the rest of the world, had been experiencing severe economic depression for almost five years. In the United States, the Great Depression seemed to many to signify the failure of capitalism. In response to the economic devastation, political economic platforms based on theories as diverse as Herbert Hoover's relatively laissez-faire economic handling to extreme Utopian schemes to achieve total economic equality amongst the citizens of the nation began to emerge. Two of these ideas, Franklin D. Roosevelt's "New Deal," and Huey P. Long's "Share Our Wealth" ...
The Populist movement was in the last decades of the nineteenth century, while the Progressive movement was in the beginnings of the twentieth. They occurred within fifty years of each other, and they were similar in their grievances. Both reforms had parties that lasted well throughout the movements, and presidential candidates, some which continued on to the white house. Though the Progressive movement was probably more successful overall, but both contributed a lot to the way we make political decisions in the twenty-first century. The populist movement was more of a farmers revolt, and was...
In March of 1829, Andrew Jackson was inaugurated as the seventh president of the United States. Born in 1767, he was a child of the backwoods, and was an orphan at the age of fourteen. His long military career began in 1781, and he quickly became a war hero and champion for the common man. "Old Hickory" as he was known, was a seasoned veteran, and had a reputation as a rough and uncivil individual. Most importantly, however, he was a southern democrat, which meant he distrusted banks. Nicolas Biddle, on the other hand, was the polar opposite of Jackson. Biddle was born in 1786 to an old Phila...

From the beginning of the rivalry between the Federalists and the Democratic-Republican Party, the Hamiltonian and the Jeffersonian political leaders were split between their beliefs about the political and economic matters within the nation. Generally, the Federalists based their interpretation upon a "loose construction" of the constitution, where the federal government could obtain power over the right of the individual states. On the contrary, the Jeffersonian politicians dismissed the idea of federal power over the state legislature and incorporated the notion of a "strict construction" o...
The Framers of the Constitution had the tough job of producing a new government, different from the Articles Of Confederation that would unite a newly born country, freed from the King of England. The Anti-federalists believed that the central government needed more power than it had under the Articles of Confederation, but they argued that the Framers of the Constitution had gone too far. They feared that the centralized government proposed by the Framers would lead to a new kind of tyranny, and viewed the Constitution is a corrupt document without a Bill of Rights protecting the people's ind...

The Republicans were known to be strict constructionists who rigorously followed the Constitution. On the contrary, the Federalists were considered broad constructionists who widely interpreted the Constitution often for their best interest. However, decisions were frequently made by each party which completely contradicted these interpretive characterizations. Even though both parties had distinctly different viewpoints on issues, their positions te...
