I think I would want to be in Democratic political party. The democratic party was one of the two major contemporary political parties in the United States. I want to be in the Democratic party because I like their party and I think I would be with them if this was now. The democratic party seems better than the Republican party.For example, the Democratic party has supporters and they are the farmers and tradespeople. I think that the farmers and tradespeople help the democratic parties and they opposed the national bank. Indeed, Democratic party economy based on farming. I think the economy is good for the farmers and they help the farmers out. I also think that the Democratic party economy is one of the best thing in the party. Particularly, the Democratic have a strict construction of the constitution. They also fear of rule by one person or a powerful few. I think they had a strict construction because people would do bad things. To sum it up, I think the Democratic party is the best party. I think this because I like how the democratic party do their things different than the Republican party.

Mrs. Griffis

12/1/2015 12:19:13 pm

Samantha, yes, farming wold be good for the economy. After what happened in history I too would be afraid of one person taking all the control.

I want to be a Democratic-republican because each government doesn’t have too much power than the other.For an example the government protects the people rights.
The first reason that I want to be a Democratic-republican because I want a strong organized government.With a strong and organized government it will protect your state rights.
The second reason that I want to be a Democratic-republican because They know that if they have to much power they are going to have a bad fate with power.If they have to much power they might use it to make a war in that power.
The third reason I want to be a Democratic-republican because they want to limit the national government.I like to have a limited power of the government because if they have to much power they might use that power for bad things.
The first reason that I want to be a Democratic-republican because they have a strong organized government.With a strong and organized government it will protect your state rights.That’s why I want to be a Democratic-republican.

Mrs. Griffis

11/30/2015 12:28:13 pm

Alejandro, I agree with your point regarding a organized government - they truly support a strict interpretation of the Constitution.

Kailey D.

11/30/2015 12:35:03 pm

I do not agree with you because the Bill of Rights protects the rights of the people not goverment itself. Also, with the power the government has is not something to fear, with the power they can protect us better from other countries threatning the US governments.

chris rico

11/30/2015 12:37:28 pm

Alejandro,i do not agree with you because if the government has limit power then the other country would think we are weak.If we had a strong government then we can defend are self the federalist have people who are education and the republican only have rich people

Ernie T

11/30/2015 12:44:25 pm

Alejandro, I disagree with you because I think governments should have All control because they keep problems calmer than The Democratic Republicans.

Justinn G

11/20/2015 12:38:40 pm

Federalist-because we are very well educated and could help the country in desperate times.
To begin with Federalist are well educated people that could support the nation critical. Especially If we are in war.
Next if the farmers were not producing enough crops to trade, we would fall apart and not be able to trade. For example if britain wanted crops for money, we would not be able to trade with them. We could not be able to pay off our debts to other countries.
Furthermore we believe that the rich and well educated party is better than the low class farm because farmers don’t have the ability to fight for their rights as much as the rich.
In addition if the country split in 2 we could have federalist that could bring it back together. They would be in different parts of the county convincing them to come back because they are well educated. For this reason I am a Federalist.

Willow

11/30/2015 12:31:19 pm

I agree with you because this explains why you picked a Federalist!

Millicent M.

11/30/2015 12:39:16 pm

Justin, I agree with your point of supporting educated people like lawyers and merchants because they are more educated than the farmers. I agree that rich people are better because they know more things than the low class.

chris rico

11/30/2015 12:43:05 pm

justin i agree with you because federalist are well education and have people with good jobs

Kailey D.

11/30/2015 12:44:16 pm

I agree with you Justinn because if our country is in war educated people wil help us and make us defeat the other countries. Also they can help us come together if a country is being devided.

Jasmin E.

11/30/2015 12:45:12 pm

I agree with Justinn that we should have a well educated party than an low class farm.In addition the rich people have the upper hand than the farmers, also the rich have the ability to fight as well.

Nestor Aguilar

11/30/2015 12:46:54 pm

Justin,I agree with the federalist.That a great choice because they need educated people for an emergency.Poor people can't read or write.If they have educated people then they will win in war and have more money.

Nestor.A

11/20/2015 12:38:48 pm

I will like to be a democratic republican because they are better then the federalist they have more people than then the federalist.They have more supported than the federalists.If i was a poor farmer they will help me become a better farmer with a bigger farm.
First reason is that they help farmer and shelters.Then the farmers will give good to the democratic - republic.They could give them money to make their farm bigger and better.If they help the farmer the farmer will help the democratic republic.
Second reason is they like limited government.The limited government will give so rights but not much to make the government so powerful.If they have the federalist then they will become so powerful because it a strong government.
Finally my last reason is that they oppose national bank.They think if they have a national bank then the government will become too powerful.Also they won't give loans to the poor farmer only to the rich farmers.
I like this party because they help people that are not rich they help people with smaller business they help poor farmer so they could make a better farm than before.They don’t like the national bank because they will become to much powerful.With the national bank.They get support by the farmers and shelters.They also don’t like the strong government because they become too powerful.They need a loose government.This is why i like the democratic republic.

I agree with you because you show why they are better than the rebublicans

james wells

11/30/2015 12:39:57 pm

i agree with you this is strong

Angel G.

11/30/2015 12:42:41 pm

I disagree with you because Federalist are better and if there is bad season to grow crops what is the government going to do if they spend most of their money helping small farmers. That is why the national bank would help the country when they are in need of money.

Mrs. Griffis

12/2/2015 08:05:57 pm

Nestor, yes a national government could become too powerful. Very perceptive regarding the national bank not giving loans to the poor people - that was an issue for Jackson.

Angel Guerrero Lopez

11/20/2015 12:39:01 pm

Federalists are the best for the country because they believed that trade and money is going to make the country grow and expand furthermore. They also believed in strong central government which they can control easy. To begin,they believed in a national bank that not only keeps money safe but help people borrow money and pay back the money so they are not fooling around. The money has to be given back in a certain amount of money because if they don’t do it the national bank would be a waste of time to spend on it.Furthermore they are better than the Democratic Republicans because they think that the farms are not keeping the country with wealth. People that are educated have a different way of thinking because they know what is better for the country and the people. What is going to be better for the country is the manufacturing and the shiping because they gain more money and the respect of other countries.Especially they believed that a president should rule the country with the help of other states. The Republicans think that states should rule over the nation but if they do one states would have more advantages than other states and the people would disagree and fight against the state. To conclude the Federalist are better than the Democratic Republicans because they believed that country needs to be govern by one person with help of the states and his cabinet.

Milliicent M

11/30/2015 12:46:08 pm

Angel, I agree on you on having national bank because you can keep money on it and keep it safe and borrow money from it.

Mrs. Griffis

12/2/2015 08:08:14 pm

Angel, you have truly supported the Federalists issues and concerns. Manufacturing will help with foreign countries is an interesting point and so true.

Millicent Clarisse M

11/20/2015 12:39:23 pm

I am a federalist because I feel like I am more like them because I believe in what they believe in than the Democratic Republicans. I am a federalist because I support a strong national government because they have the ability to tax people and support military. They also have the powers to sign treaties with other nations.Next, I am a federalist because I want the Economy based on manufacturing and shipping because I wanted cities to grow like with factories and not just in farming. I think that it is easier to base an economy on manufacturing and shipping than farming.Certainly, I am federalists because I think that rich, educated, landowners people are the one who should be in power like the lawyers, merchants, manufacturers, and clergy. I think that they should be in power because they are more educated than farmers and tradespeople. Furthermore, I am a federalist because favored national bank. I favored national banks because they keep money to secure, make loans, and issue paper money.It is better to be a federalist because Hamilton made much better work on it. I mostly agreed on their ideas like the Economy, strong national government, people who should be in powers, and favored national bank. I feel more comfortable with them and I feel more like them than the Democratic Republicans.

Bianca F.

11/30/2015 12:45:59 pm

Millicent, in my opinion I believe the same thing because I also support a strong national government.

Mrs. Griffis

12/2/2015 08:11:58 pm

Millicent, you have an interesting point regarding an economy being based on manufacturing and shipping will grow, I agree. Yes, education does play a key role in knowing what a country does need to improve.

Jasmin E.

11/20/2015 12:39:33 pm

The political party I support and I would be is the Democratic/Republicans because they care about the lower people who aren´t that rich.To begin with my first reason is because they are cautious about what they think and do of their actions.And they know that having too much of a strong and very powerful government would lead to a very bad terrifying fate that would be lead to tyranny.Furthermore, they want an organized and strong fateful government and so do I, which leads to a better future.They do not want people to abuse the power nor do I.And so one They are being careful of not being corrupted, plus they care about the economics of the people and government too.To summarize my last reason is that they choose of what's best for the people and government.They care about the state right´s and they focus on what's important in the state/country.And that they have good ideas to help the state/government/people.Also they make sure they know what to do with the money and that they think thoroughly and carefully too.
Finally, my last statement is that they make sure nothing's out of place so they won't be any problems and that they have a strong belief that lets no one change of what they think what's right to do for the people.Plus they want whats right and best for the country/state too.

Willow

11/30/2015 12:32:50 pm

I disagree because I picked a Federalist.

Larissa Osorio

11/30/2015 12:35:46 pm

Jasmin, I agree with you because you stated that they care about the state's rights and that they focus on what's important in the state/government - I believe that is something important that they should do.

Axel G

11/30/2015 12:40:20 pm

I do not agree because having too much of something or too strong is never bad and in my opinion will not lead to lead to bad stuff.

james wells

11/30/2015 12:43:35 pm

You have a strong statement very good

Justinn G.

11/30/2015 12:46:41 pm

Jasmin, I do not agree with you that the Democratic republicans are cautious about what they think and do because the federalist do the same thing.

Mrs. Griffis

12/2/2015 08:13:39 pm

Jasmin, yes the Democratic Republicans do care about the people - that is one of their strengths.

james

11/20/2015 12:39:50 pm

Democratic party I would have freedom.And you would have more rights.They reason I would want to be a democratic is because I would get more things. They reason I would be a democratic is because I would get more freedom i would be able to talk my mind and not get in as much trouble. You can get more stuff like freedom and freedom of speech .

Mrs. Griffis

12/2/2015 08:15:36 pm

James, I believe the Bill of Rights makes sure you have freedom of speech not the party. However, if you're referring to the Alien and Sedition Act the Federalists did deny freedom of speech / press.

Larissa Osorio

11/20/2015 12:40:06 pm

To begin with, I would like to be in the Democratic-Republicans political party. For this reason, I believe that I will have more chances if I become a Republican.
For instance, if I was in the Democratic-Republicans, there will be representatives who will believe in the same things that I believe in. For example, this party is comprised of small farmers, small business owners and farmers.
First, the Republicans believed to have a limited national government and to give more control to the states and the people. The Federalists wants to have a strong central government.
Second, the Democratic-Republicans objected to new taxes to pay off debts since it would burdened small farmers and city workers. Especially, when they opposed a national bank since they knew that it would give too much power to the federal government.
To conclude, if I become a Democratic-Republican, I would be in a party that makes the best decisions. Even though the Republicans have a strict interpretation of the Constitution, they know that this is the best way to create a strong nation.

Mrs. Griffis

12/2/2015 08:18:28 pm

Larissa, I see you're opposed to the national bank since it may give the national government too much power. Yes, taxes would definitely burden the small farmers.

Matthew Frazer

11/20/2015 12:40:20 pm

I am a federalists because that one actually seems there doing what they're opposto being doing that they have everyone thing right they seem smart with a new bank strong government Because i think it was good that they made a favored national bank because they needed somewhere to put all of the money somewhere and make more money. I think it was good that they made a strong national government cause everyone need that because like if we went to war and things like they we need good info to what we would do.And like how the lawyers support the things and how merchants support the people and that good cause they have more people that support unlike the democratic has just farmers and others .which one i pick is I am a fedlist because it better with most of things that offer with it like 1 with the bank and 2 with the supporters are better then like more people want like the strong government And we have a strong government like America has a strong government.

Samantha S

11/30/2015 12:42:22 pm

I agree with a strong government. I think that this looks good and he can add the fear of mob rule. My answer I got is Democratic Republicans.

Mrs. Griffis

12/2/2015 08:20:34 pm

Matthew, yes a bank is a good solution to keeping money safe.

Willow Vega

11/20/2015 12:40:26 pm

I am Going to be a Federalist. I am Going to be a Federalist because I want to have a National Bank. I want to have a national bank because it will help the people save up money so we could repay the Europeans, the French, the British, and our Country. Lastly, I want to be a federalist because I interpret the Constitution loosely. This will help strengthen the Central Government. So I think I would be a Federalist because they have a Loose Constitution and a National Bank.

Willow Vega

11/30/2015 12:28:06 pm

^ This is the one that was an accident

Justinn G.

11/30/2015 12:51:32 pm

Willow, I agree with you on the fact that we could save up enough money to pay off war debt.

Mrs. Griffis

12/2/2015 08:24:39 pm

Willow, yes a national bank will help us pay off our debt to foreign countries and American citizens. So you're saying a loose interpretation of the Constitution will strengthen the government - could you clarify this.

Sindi Beltran

11/20/2015 12:42:38 pm

Republican because they can be smart and they know how to work right.
This is supporting information because republicans can help our country.
I think this is a good information because you never know what the republicans will do for the country..i think this is a good statement because republicans can protect the country of james workman middle school i guess.

Mrs. Griffis

12/2/2015 08:26:28 pm

Sindi, could you please support your statements with evidence. Are you sure James Workman Middle School was a country - please verify your facts.

Emily Rivas

11/20/2015 12:46:21 pm

I believe that I am a Democratic-Republic because they believed in a an economy based on farming. They also believed that there should not have been a national bank because the Constitution did not state that we could have one. To begin, they believe in giving more control to the people and the state, because a federal government can become too powerful. Furthermore, Republicans had searched for a way to fight back on the Alien and Sedition Acts even though they were deprived from freedom of speech. They also could stay in the country unless they were a citizen for at least 14 years, write anything “harmful”about the government, and were ordered to be sent out of the country during wartime. In addition, Republican do not agree to add new taxes because farmers and city workers will have to pay even more than they used too. They would not be able to keep up with the payments. In conclusion, I believe that I am a Democratic-Republican because that political party does not fear the people we depend on for freedom.

Jasmin E.

11/30/2015 12:40:53 pm

I agree with Emily´s perspective.I also think that they also should trust the people and that the workers and farmers shouldn´t need to pay more than they did before, because they worked hard and earned of what they worked for.

Mrs. Griffis

12/2/2015 08:28:35 pm

Emily after what has happened in history, I too would be concerned the national government would become too powerful. Taxes could become a burden to the farmers.

Axel G.

11/20/2015 12:49:22 pm

I support the federalist because they work hard and I believe what they believe. I think this will help our country and make the United States better.
Second they wanted to save the states by not being in a financial debt, and they started the national bank to pay off the debt
In addition Another reason is believed that establishing a large national government was not only possible, but necessary to create a more perfect state by improving the relationship among the states.
For these reasons I have chosen Federalist and will support them till the end or till they make a dumb decision.

jared

11/30/2015 12:36:51 pm

this lookes good

Larissa Osorio

11/30/2015 12:38:37 pm

Axel, I do not agree with the idea that the federalists wanted to start a national bank because if they did they would put more taxes on the people.

melissa

11/30/2015 12:43:24 pm

redo your comment.

Ryan.p

11/30/2015 12:41:35 pm

i agree with you because you explain why you agree with them

Emily Rivas

11/30/2015 12:43:08 pm

Axel, I don't agree with you because federalist want to add more taxes, and their has been a lot of chaos due to people thinking that it was ridiculous to add taxes on simple things. There are also many people who can't pay the taxes because they don't have the money to.

Mrs. Griffis

12/2/2015 08:30:50 pm

Axel, yes it was a good decision for the federal government to take on the war debt thus allowing all states to begin debt free. I too feel having a national government will help the nation, because under the Articles of Confederation the states basically did what they wanted.

chris r

11/20/2015 12:50:49 pm

I would want to be a federalist because they let people who are poor have the power and they have merchant,lawyers,manufacturers,and clergy on their side and the republican want people who are rich have the power.
first of all they make the people choose what is best for the nation not just one state.they want a strong national government which is good so we could have power.there economy is based on manufacturing and shipping so we could make trade over sea
the federalist are people who had an education so they know how to do math and stuff. and they want a national bank so they could make loans to small business. and they are feared of mob rule because people might be violence
they want a loose constitution because they did not want the people to follow rules that people didn't like so more people would want to join the federalist and republican only want rich people to join them
that's why i would want to be a federalist because they want the people opinion instead of those rich people the people would make decision to help the nation and the rich people would only make decision to help them become more rich.

Angel G.

11/30/2015 12:38:22 pm

I agree with you because you support your statement to be a Federalist and support it with evidence.

Alejandro T.

11/30/2015 12:41:25 pm

Chris, I disagree with you because I want to be a Democratic-Republic because the Bill Of Rights protect the people's rights.

Mrs. Griffis

12/2/2015 08:33:08 pm

Chris, I like your thinking in regards to unity and focusing on trade to help the country grow. I believe the loose interpretation of the Constitution allowed the Federalists to stretch the Constitution to meet the needs of the country as a whole.

Arianna C.

11/20/2015 12:51:08 pm

Democratic/republican are the best because they support the lower class of the u.s. To begin with I chose the Democratic/Republicans they support the farmers that can’t afford things and small businesses that no one really.Furthermore the democratic/republicans support the powers not given to the national government are given to the states or to the people. The Democratic/Republicans opposed a national bank and favored helping france in the war.To conclude the Demoratic/Republican are the best because of what they do for the lower people of the U.S.

Juan

11/30/2015 12:37:17 pm

Arianna,I agree with supporting small business because that they would help them afford things they can´t afford.

Emily Rivas

11/30/2015 12:39:16 pm

I agree with you because I think that it is great that Democratic/Republicans put the un-wealthy people into consideration, since they don't have much money to continually pay taxes to the government.

Samantha S

11/30/2015 12:44:49 pm

I agree with you and you can also add limited national government.

Sarah Miller

11/30/2015 12:51:25 pm

I disagree with you because I personally prefer the political party of federalists and their beliefs but good explanations and good job. :)

Mrs. Griffis

12/2/2015 08:34:30 pm

Arianna, yes supporting the farmers is essential for our country to stay united and support each other.

Juan Silva

11/20/2015 01:07:40 pm

The political party is to support the Democrats/Republicans because they support the small farmers and small business.
In addition they can help small business so they can be big business.And they can help small farmers be big farmer and have a lot of money.
Furthermore because they believe in a strong central government.They can make fair rules and business.
Equally important because they do can make and give the power to the the national government.So they can control the government
I support the Democrats/Republicans because they support the poor. And they want a strong government to have for every state.

alejandro T.

11/30/2015 12:36:15 pm

Juan, I agree with your statement because I kind of wrote the same thing. I do want the power of the national government divided so they won't use that power to start a war.

Nestor Aguilar

11/30/2015 12:37:59 pm

Juan,S I got a different answer than you because in your statement it say that the democratic republican support the strong but it is limited government.

Arianna Chauncey

11/30/2015 12:42:07 pm

Juan, My idea is similar to your idea because they support the small business and farmers and they prefer a strict construction of the constitution.

Mrs. Griffis

12/2/2015 08:36:00 pm

Juan, I like your thinking that even a small farmer or business has the opportunity to grow and prosper in the United States.

Kailey Diaz

11/23/2015 12:57:52 pm

My political party is Federalist since I agree that a government should be loosely counstructed
To begin with, I believe that a loose construction should be made because, this way the laws will run for many years. It will focus on making the government stronger for a longer period of time. This is supported by the elastic clause. Making the government this way can focus on much more things including those that are declared unconstitutional.
In addition, I am a federalist because I believe that everyone divides themselves based on how much money they have and by stopping this division, a good government can be maintained. Without the self division, then our government will be run equally and everyone will be treated the same. Finally, I also believe that a bank addition into the United States is necessary because in this manner, we can save money while the government uses it for its own needs. However, we do get the money back as we ask for it. So the government can pay back all necessary debts owed from other countries while the citizens still have their money saved.
To conclude, I want a government that is not strict because I am a political party member of the federalists.

Juan

11/30/2015 12:47:23 pm

Kailey,So you are saying that The Federalist has a loose construction and will have a bank

Sarah Miller

11/30/2015 12:50:02 pm

I agree with your reasoning and explanations. Good Job! :)

Mrs. Griffis

12/2/2015 08:37:32 pm

Kailey, I too believe everyone should be treated equally. Unfortunately the division has already started with the two political parties.

Willow Vega

11/28/2015 10:31:36 am

I am Going to be a Federalist. I am Going to be a Federalist because I want to have a National Bank. I want to have a national bank because it will help the people save up money so we could repay the Europeans, the French, the British, and our Country. It also would help businesses by giving them loans. Also, our supporters are Lawyers, Merchants, Manufacturers, and Clergy. This means that we have more money and education than the Democratic Republicans. With this money and education our country can grow stronger. Lastly, I want to be a federalist because I interpret the Constitution loosely. This will help strengthen the Central Government because it gave the people more freedom to do what they wanted as long as the Constitution specifically said they couldn't. In conclusion, I would be a Federalist because of all the rights they have.

Willow, thanks for the update.

Gage Cantu

11/30/2015 12:25:52 pm

The political party I lean towards more and think would be better for the country is Federalist. The first reason I support Federalist is because it based on a loose interpretation of the constitution. This is called the elastic clause which allows there to be things not stated in the constitution to happen. Furthermore I support Federalist because I believe the national bank served a great purpose and is very useful to pay off war debt and keep our money safe. Lastly I support Federalist because a strong national government sounds much more intelligent than a strong state government because state power could cause conflicts due to 1 states power being stronger than others. Overall these are the reasons I believe I am a federalist and that federalist would be better for the county.

Mrs. Griffis

12/2/2015 08:40:14 pm

Gage, I believe I responded to this already in the other period posting.

Political party here who come together to contest elections and hold power in the government. Begin with a transition word While there is some international commonality in the way political parties are recognized, and in how they operate, there are often many differences, and some are significant. Many political parties have an ideological core, but some do not, and many represent very different ideologies than they did when first founded.
Begin with a transition word They agree on some policies and programmes for the society with a view to promote the collective good. Begin with a transition word In democracies, political parties are elected to run a government by the electorate. Wrap it up and restate your position many countries have numerous powerful political parties, such as Germany and India and some nations are one party systems, such as China.

I picked federalist because I feel that federalist come up with good ideas like building a National bank. Federalist have a loose construction and they always favored the National bank. I want to to be a federalist because they want to build a National bank to store money and they are supported by rich people like lawyers and Manufactures that help Federalist. Federalist favored the National bank but the Democratic republicans disagreed with the idea of making a national bank, but Federalist still went on with their plans. Adam was was the leader because he was the runner-up.

My political party is Federalist since I agree that a government should be loosely counstructed
To begin with, I believe that a loose construction should be made because, this way the laws will run for many years. I am a federalist because I believe that everyone divides themselves based on how much money they have and by stopping this division, a good government can be maintained Wrap it up and restate your position many countries have numerous powerful political parties, such as Germany and India and some nations are one party systems, such as China.

Jaime, don't laws work for years because this is what is needed for a country? Could you clarify your point regarding money and "stopping this division".

i feel like the federalist is better because i want a national bank mank the united states better In addition Another reason is believed that establishing a large national government was not only possible, but necessary to create a more perfect and it is much better Adam was was the leader because he was the runner-up to the political parties This will help strengthen the Central Government because it gave the people more freedom to do what they wanted as long as the Constitution specifically said they couldn't.

Jared, I feel you have some valid points, but they need to be developed so we can fully understand your concepts.

My political party is Federalists, because I think the government should be loose.
My first reason why I think that the government should be loose because the laws could possibly last longer throughout the years. By this happening, it will make the government stronger. This is supported by the Elastic Clause.
Another reason why I am a Federalist is because I feel like people divide themselves into groups based on how much money they have and how wealthy they are.
If people didn't treat each other differently based on wealth then everybody would get along, and be treated equally.
Finally, i'm a federalist, because I think that by adding a bank into the United States is necessary. I think that it is necessary, because we can use it at the same time as the government will when its in need of something.
In addition when we want our money given back, we receive it. Which means that we can pay back debts that we owe to other countries.
To conclude, I don't want a strict government because I am part of the federalist political party, and support the reasons I just have given.

Sarah, a loose interpretation of the Constitution does not mean a loose government. Yes, I agree a national bank is essential since it will support our country.

I want to be a Democtatic/Republican because they believe in a state goverment because the people should all have a place in the goverment. They also support small town farmers and businesses which I believe is right way to do things. I also don't like a central only govemenets
