Because even then, the country was polarized.  Different groups saw different futures for the new nation.  Most people seek out others of similar belief and tend to cluster around the strongest of the group.  It only took a very short time for names or labels to be attached.

Republican Party, one of the two major United States political parties, founded by a coalition in 1854. The coalition was composed of former members of the Whig, Free-Soil, and Know-Nothing parties, along with Northern Democrats who were dissatisfied with their party’s conciliatory attitude on the slavery issue (see Free-Soil Party; Know-Nothings; Whig Party). The early Republicans were united in their opposition to extending slavery into the Western territories. In 1856 they nominated John Charles Frémont for the presidency. He won about a third of the popular vote, but alienated many potential supporters by his failure to oppose immigration.\n\n*******************************\n\nDemocratic Party, one of the two main political parties of the United States. Its origins can be traced to the coalition formed behind Thomas Jefferson in the 1790s to resist the policies of George Washington’s administration. This coalition, originally called the Republican, and later the Democratic-Republican Party, split into two factions during the presidential campaign of 1828. One, the National Republican Party, was absorbed into the Whig Party in 1834; the other became the Democratic Party.

I'd say one was passage of the civil rights legislation in the 1960s. Delegates of a representative democracy (elected by a majority) voted for it.\n\nYou could extend that reasoning to cover everything from voting rights, to certain rights for illegal aliens, to SBA incentives for minorities to start businesses. \n\nI hope this is for school and you're cheating.

the parties emerged because the federalists wanted stronger federal government and the other one wanted a republic of state governments, the french revolution created a split because one (I think federalists) thought we should stay loyal to the french government for helping us in the revolutionary war, but the other supported the rebellion, because they thought theyshould support democracy

You mean in the United States?\n\nThe government here has always relied on functionalism as in the 1800s and 1900s when major reform movements were carried out. Prohibition, de-segragation, quota laws.\n\nDemocratic? I'm not so sure, besides some political movements started by citizens a vast majority of "democratic" power lies in the hands of the politicians and the coporate leaders. But of course we are the ones who vote for our politicians so I guess it is democractic in some sense.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nBest WIshes, \nTony

I'll point you in the right direction, but that question is about a ten-page paper.\n\nThe shift began in 1948 when Harry Truman desegregated the military and call for civil rights reforms. Southern Democrats bolted the party and supported Strom Thurmond.\n\nThe shift was finalized in 1964, when Lyndon Johnson supported the Civil Rights Act. Southerners backed Goldwater, and he won the states that Thurmond had in 1948, and not much else. Some long-time southern Democrats began defecting to the Republican party.\n\nDuring the 1970s, you had the rise of people like Jesse Helms, and Nixon's "southern strategy" which overtly used racist symbols to court white southern voters. This trend continued throughout the 1980s and 1990s, and was a key factor in the GOP takeover in 1994.\n\nYou also saw the rise of powerful Southern Republicans such as Newt Gingrich, Tom DeLay and Trent Lott.\n\nIt started with a dealignment - Democrats leaving the party over civil rights, then a realignment to Republicanism.

the question of "States rights" was one of the divisive issues facing this nation at that time. which one should be supreme, the States or the Federal government. the Whigs were AWOL on that issue, truth be told. the Republican Party was actually founded on a States rights platform

The Democratic Republican Party was the precursor of the Modern day Democrat Party. The party grew out of the anti-Federalist sentiments of men like Thomas Jefferson which originally focused on the proper power and relative authority of the Federal and State governments.\n\nThe Democratic Republicans (who generally referred to themselves simply as "Republicans" prior to 1820) favored the state governments over the Federal, the small yeoman farmer over city dwellers, and opposed both the Federal Court system and the National Bank.

Isn't the american revolution when United States got the independence? I don't think the whig party was during that time. Whig party was created years later because these people had different views from this one president at the time.

There is a Libertarian and Constitutionalist party but they get little support.\n\nAmericans just don't care for  the constitution anymore to support such parties. They'd rather vote in crooks from the democrat or republican parties instead.
