Political Parties go from being viewed as divisive to necessary to democracy; each party represents two of the broadest interests of the people. [created by a dissident group of D-R who took the name "Whigs" as a way to mock "King Andrew I" ]

1.) Precursor to the cold war, in a way. Either with us or against us.

2.) Unifying forces of big or small government. Big issues being the Federal Bank and international infrastructure and executive power.

3.) Rampant mudslinging still visible today; "they want everybody dependent on the government" "they hate women's rights and are greedy corporate fat cats"

4.) Image based; parties expected to keep up public relations and maintain a positive public image. Starting with the election of 1832, nearly every candidate tries to portray themselves as normal, middle class Americans with a touch on the common man.

5.) Very polarizing. Two divisive factions with very diverse platforms. The game being to attract as many people as possible, each party has a very broad platform.

6. Whigs - Calhoun, Webster, Clay Democrats - Jackson, Van Buren
