Then why was Thomas Jefferson's political party named the Democratic Republican party ?


The Writing of the merits of a republican or representative form of government, James Madison observed that one of the most important differences between a democracy and a republic is "the delegation of the government [in a republic] to a small number of citizens elected by the rest." The primary effect of such a scheme, Madison continued, was to:

. . . refine and enlarge the public views by passing them through the medium of a chosen body of citizens whose wisdom may best discern the true interest of their country and whose patriotism and love of justice will be least likely to sacrifice it to temporary or partial considerations. Under such a regulation it may well happen that the public voice, pronounced by the representatives of the people, will be more consonant to the public good than if pronounced by the people themselves, convened for the same purpose (Federalist No. 10).

In the strictest sense of the word, the system of government established by the Constitution was never intended to be a "democracy." This is evident not only in the wording of the Pledge of Allegiance but in the Constitution itself which declares that "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government" (Article IV, Section 4). Moreover, the scheme of representation and the various mechanisms for selecting representatives established by the Constitution were clearly intended to produce a republic, not a democracy...

The fact that people inter change the words does not make it a democracy, it makes it an error......

Its absolutely hilarious. They can call it whatever they want, in the end, its pure segregation! The progressive Democrats should be called the "Regressive Democrats". Tyranny is all the left understands! Power and greed rules the white and jewish Socialist Democrats!


Regressive democrats about covers it!!
All that fighting for unity as one and doing away with segregation and now they want it????

How many years did,lets say, their parents fight to eliminate it??

Do you think they have any concept to what they are throwing away and how fragile this country is right now?? They think only of themself and candidly they aren't thinking!! Perhaps they are so brain washed they have lost reality to what took place in history to get them where they are now..

They have thrown themself back, certainly not forward..

Does show how the Globalist are succeeding with them.. I would feel pity for them if it wasn't the stark reality of exactly what such action does to an already devided Nation, taking the rest of us with them..How truly demonstrative this action is!!!

I don't think many, if any, of our left leaners know a lot about the early writings about republican form of government and democracy. Actually too many of them write like they think our democracy should be done by counting votes. They are so out of it that they don't realize what our Congress is there for. They are so stupid, in the long run that they really don't understand the difference between out republican form and the old Greek form of democracy. I wonder where they think a couple of million of us could get together to vote on laws. Stupidity runs rampant among them.

good quotes LJ.
I read years ago that in the 1928 (?) army manual, that a democracy was a "despicable form of government". The PTB have used a "covert democracy" to undermine our Republic. They had to get that done, in order to attain their planned One world government (NWO). The Euro is/was one piece. The Amero was to be another piece.

The voting system.
200 yrs ago the threat of one state, having more citizens than another, created the Electoral vote. The forefathers knew at that time, that a few states had already had more citizens, than most other states combined. Of the people, by the people, for the people. With the Electoral vote in place all states can summarize, what the citizens want. Through their individual votes. Corruption. Since the beginning of history, humankind has been corrupted. Here is where we all have a problem with one thing or another. Was my vote counted or was the Electoral vote bought?. This is a Capitalist Country. I have been primed by history and this Government that my vote was bought.

Because the Electoral College performs its function very well, and there are a great many other more important subjects to talk about, like why do the democrats keep nibbling on President Trumps butt like a bunch of rabid piranhas while he is trying to drain the swamp, or why did the democrats love the Electoral College only when it works for them? I've never seen such a Communist/Socialist furor in my lifetime; they must be terrified that they are going to lose their featherbeds and their free benefits, and they should be terrified, and they should lose their freebies and have to work for a living rather than just vote for a living!

rustex007... Actually, the Republicans attempted to "... do it to Obama..." and failed... And "... now is your turn..." And it's not "... pay back..." It's politics by Dems and GOPs in Office to placate we Voters... And you've shown that you're placated, just like GOP voters like myself showed we were placated during Pres Obama's time in Office...

The name Democratic-Republican Party was at first a derogatory name for the party that was applied by the Federalists. The derisive term 'Democratic' was added to convey the extreme actions taken in the name of Democracy during the French Revolution and the dictatorship of Napoleon Bonaparte. The Neutrality Proclamation of 1793 issued by George Washington had resulted in the resignation of Thomas Jefferson as Secretary of State. Jefferson and the Republicans had believed that they were the only anti-monarchical party in America, and that the federalists were enemies of a republic, liberty and the rights of man. The Republicans admired many of the ideals of the French citizens with their strong anti-monarchist sentiments and their belief of the principle of government by the people. The Federalists plan to discredit the Republicans backfired, the 'derisive' name stuck, and the Republicans were happy to call their party the Democratic-Republicans.

The Democratic-Republican Party split into two groups.

The first group were Democratic-Republicans organized by Martin Van Buren and led by Andrew Jackson

The group dropped the word "Republican" and called themselves simply Democrats and so began the formation of the Democrat Party

The second group, led by Adams and Clay, were called the National Republican Party

The Anti-Federalists were totally opposed to the Federalists idea of government. The Anti-Federalists believed that the vast majority of ordinary, less educated Americans, had the common sense and skills required to run the government. The last thing they wanted was a government based on the class conscious British system.
