Brainstorm What do you know about Democrats? What do you know about Republicans?

Political party: A group of people who share the same beliefs about the way a country should be run. The aim of a political party is to elect officials who will try to carry out those shared beliefs. Two-Party System: A political system consisting chiefly of two political parties (such as Democratic and Republican) that dominates the government. Democratic Party: The oldest existing political party, Democrats tends to be more liberal on social issues, and believe the government should take an active role in providing for people in need. Liberals: Believe in government-funded programs to provide support for people in need, programs to promote social good and greater freedom in political and religious matters.

Republican Party: Formed in 1854, Republicans tend to take a more conservative stand on social issues, favoring lower taxes and less government spending on social programs. Conservatives: Believe in personal responsibility, traditional American values and a strong national defense. Note: The terms “left” and “right” refer to opposite ends of the political spectrum. Liberals are referred to as the left or left-wing; conservatives are the right or right-wing. Third parties: Smaller, alternative political parties, such as the Libertarian Party and Green Party. Third-party candidates typically receive much smaller percentages of votes during presidential elections.
