Description: |
From the start, Americans have regarded their government with a
mixture of reliance and mistrust. The founders of the republic
understood the importance of government. "If men were angels,"
observed the 51st Federalist Paper, "no government would be
necessary." But men are not angels. The delegates who gathered in Philadelphia in 1787 to write the Constitution had two purposes in mind: They wanted to establish a strong cen-tral authority and to limit that central authority's capacity to abuse its power. The series YOUR GOVERNMENT How IT WORKS provides an in-depth examina-tion of our government and its processes and makes clear how our informed participation is crucial to government's serving both the individual and the American people as a whole. The History of the Democratic Party is a survey of the often turbulent national events and influences that shaped the party, from its inception in the late 18th century as a "faction" to counterbalance the Federalists to its emergence in the 20th century as a party known for its innovative use of government programs to improve working conditions, promote racial equality, and address other social issues. The History of the Democratic Party concludes with a portrayal of the party in the Clinton era as it continues to disagree over moderate and liberal solutions to the nation's problems. The party's hope in the 21st century will be to avoid the destructive splits of the past while continuing to engage in vigorous and relevant debate.
