The Political Spectrum  Where you stand determined by views on: Social, Economic, and Political issues  Political Parties formed based on common interests based along the spectrum. Radical Conservative Moderate Liberal Reactionary

Spectrum Defined  Radical: Wide, sweeping, and rapid change of society and government. Will resort to violence and revolution. V.I. Lenin: Mastermind of the Russian Revolution and Father of the Soviet Union

 Liberal: Slow, gradual change within system and much gov’t involvement in welfare of its citizens. Rejects violence. Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King

 Moderate: Between Liberal and Conservative. Tolerant of other’s views; “go slow” approach to change.

 Conservative: Favors limited gov’t. Change only when necessary and limits new policies. Maintain status quo. Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-AZ) is widely regarded as the father of the modern conservative movement

 Reactionary: Wants “good ol’ days” & will use extreme measures to obtain goals (e.g., repressive gov’t.) Hitler’s Mein Kampf is a typical reactionary manifesto

RadicalLiberalModerate ConservativeReactionary The Whole Spectrum ??????  ????  Gov’t Involvement: More, Some, Less.  Change: Rapid, Slow, None, Gradual, Return to Past.

Growth of the Parties  No mention of political parties in the U.S. Constitution.  1796, President George Washington warned against the “baneful [very harmful] effects of the spirit of the party.” What did he mean?  Why didn’t Washington want political parties to form in the U.S.?

Thomas Jefferson Alexander Hamilton Strong National Gov’t Strong State Gov’t Democratic- Republicans Federalists Democratic Party Whigs (Republican Party) 1830’s Late 1790’s 1850’s Republican Party

Third Parties  Definition: smaller, minor parties that have competed for office.  Influenced U.S. politics: Political ideas that were at first unpopular. Forces other parties to consider third party policies.

Three types of Third Parties 1. Single-Issue Parties:  Promote social, economic, or moral issues.  Prohibitionist Party (1872): ban alcohol. 2. Ideological Parties:  Support a philosophy or political doctrine.  Libertarian Party: oppose gov’t in private businesses. 3. Independent Candidates:  Parties form around strong leader.  See page 276 – who was most successful?

Obstacles to Third Parties  Rarely win major elections due to tradition of Two-Party system.  Must get LOTS of signatures to get onto ballots.  Difficult to raise money.  Should we make it easier for Third Party Candidates to get onto ballots???
