The negative attacks that were widely publicized in the election of 2016 have various similarities to those that occurred in the election of 1800. In both political landscapes, there were two distinct parties with opposing views of how the United States’ government should be run, and each tried to persuade voters by attacking the morals and political views of the opposing party and its candidates. The two opposing parties in the election of 1800 were the Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans. John Adams, the incumbent president and former vice-president to George Washington, was the head of the Federalist ticket, and Thomas Jefferson, the sitting vice-president and the former Secretary of State to George Washington, was the head of the Democratic-Republican ticket. Over the course of the 1800 election, the main accusations thrown were of the opposition being monarchist, elitist, “Jacobin”, and godless.
The extreme partisan polarization and the hostility between Democrats and Republicans that we see in Congress is the product of a long evolution starting in the mid-1960s that has rendered the system a low-functioning machine. In her examination of how the ideological gulf now separating the two major parties developed, Sinclair offers some insights into how today 's intense partisan competition affects the political process, lawmaking and national policy. As Sinclair (2006) describes, the atmosphere in contemporary Washington is intensely partisan and highly conflictual. Congressional Republicans are more uniformly conservative and Democrats more uniformly moderate and liberal than at any time during the past half century.

Summary of Article: This article talks about how the two-party should no longer exist. The two-party system has been part of the U.S. since the late 1800s and how it has controlled politics in the U.S. The two-party winning streak has come to an end. The two-party system is equally as flawed as the major parties, Democratic Party and Republican Party, with whom share one major attribute: they both favor policies that strip citizens of different liberties. The Democratic Party is in favor of social freedom but oppose personal economic freedom, while the Republican Party is the complete opposite.
In modern America, rumors of government shutdown, debt, and the seeming inefficiency of the government to make decisive changes has given more credibility to the anti-federalist argument. It seems like so many different opinions and desires makes the successful governing of a large diverse country unrealistic under a republic. Were the anti-federalists right? While it is true that competing interests can lead to inefficient government, it is the purpose of the constitution to reign in these interests and create an effective republic. Through the compromise that arises from party politics in a republic, and ironically through the conflict of interests itself, a republic is actually able successfully govern and provide both stability and liberty for as large amount of people.

Conservatism was about the restoration of monarchy, obedience to authority, and organized religion. Liberalism threatened conservatism because it supported a government by representation, in which all people had equal rights and wanted reform instead of restoration. Also threatening conservatism, romanticism was an intellectual and artistic movement that focused on individual expression, freedom, and self-government. These ideologies both contributed to nationalism and contested the conservative foundation of the Concert of Europe.

Therefore, it provides differences between the status quo power and progressive states, while maintaining and emphasizing the importance of government at the same time. In contrary, Structural Realism is more concerned on ensuring their survival, by seeking and maintaining that power.

Political parties serve countless roles in America’s government. Foremost, it needs to be said they are crucial to America’s political system.
