I think the main policy differences between Republicans and Democrats are:
- Republicans give the benefit of the doubt to other Republicans and distrust all Democrats. Also, they are more business friendly and favors a more limited role of government in terms of regulating the economy. Therefore, Republicans may receive more support from the owners of business and investment capital. Republicans tend to take a more conservative stand on issues. So, they believe that the federal government should not play a big role in people's lives.
- Democrats give the benefit of the doubt to other Democrats and distrust all Republicans. Also, they are said to rely more heavily on government intervention to influence the economy's direction and keep the

So, they promote marriage between a man and a woman, and they also promote in the right of gun ownership.
- About stance on immigration: The Democrats have a great support for the immigrant, who undocumented, for a moratorium on deporting, or offering a way to become the U.S citizen. About the Republicans, they against amnesty for any undocumented immigrants.
- About the environment: The Democrats think restricting drilling for oil or use other fuels, such as green fuel or fossil fuels, to protect environment. However, the Republican favor expanded drilling for oil to produce more energy (the consumers can buy the fuels with low cost.)
- About Tax policy, the Democrats want to cut tax for middle and low income families, but the tax need to increase on corporation and wealthy individuals. About the Republicans, they want to cut tax for
The Republican Party believes that the government should not have a big part in the average American's life. They believe in taxes being lowered and less spending on social programs, they believe in the advancement of women in the military, marriage should be between man and woman.The republican party also believes that criminals can't cause harm or damage to anybody or anything if they are locked behind bars, that the death penalty should be enforced on major criminals and big drug kingpins, that our taxes should be going towards cleaning up our environment and finding better energy sources. They believe that we should help poor nations, that Americans should have a right to firearms without having to obtain a license to posses one, that the government should open more public land for hunting, that we should track each foreign traveler and should not have aerial surveillance over U.S soil, That increasing our minimum wage makes our country more competitive.
Republicans support the human life amendment and are completely against abortion. In fact, the Republican party is trying to ban abortion. As for the Democrat party their viewpoint on abortion is completely opposite. They believe it’s all based on choice. The mother’s choice especially because she is the main person that is witnessing everything. Democrats strongly agree on Self-choice because choice is a constitutional right. I believe the impact on the candidates policy all depends on the audience and the people of the nation. You are always going to have haters and people that disagree with your policy or opinion. But you are also going to have people that agree with the policy and support it 100%. There is never going to be a 100% agreement of the policy because all people are different with different beliefs and morals.
The Democratic party believes that people should go through the same things, and the Republican party believes each kid should get to do their own things based on their individual academic ability. The second reason people believe other people should not be a Republican is because Democrats are not pro-choice because Democratic views are better because they support a woman’s right to make decisions about her pregnancy. Democratic views state that is a personal decision between the mother, doctor, and family. Republicans believe that the government needs to spend more money than what Republicans want(Republican . . .
Democrats express that the values America supports must evolve over time, and therefore tend to support controversial issues such same-sex marriage and abortion. Republicans values tend to be religious in nature which means Republicans will most likely disapprove of abortions for any reason and disagree with same-sex marriage.
“The Republican Party was founded in 1854 by a group of renegade Democrats, Whigs, and political independents who opposed the expansion of Slavery into new U.S. territories and states. What began as a single-issue, independent party became a major political force in the United States. Six years after the new party was formed, Republican nominee Abraham Lincoln won the U.S. presidential election. The Republican Party and its counterpart, the Democratic Party, became the mainstays of the nation's de facto two-party system.” As stated in the free dictionary’s definition of the republican party. The Republican and Democrat parties are opposites on almost every decision they come to. The Republican party is more small government whereas the Democratic party is pro big government.
There are clear principles that distinguish Republicans from Democrats. Republicans are conservative while Democrats are liberal. Republicans believe that taxes shouldn’t be increased for anyone, and wages should reflect
In Summary, Democrats and Republicans are very different in various aspects. Their opinions are black and white, very opposite. There are not many things that Democrats and Republicans agree on politically. Democrats are more different than similar.
Concerning the debate on our economy, republicans generally believe strongly in the power of a free market system, reduced income tax rate, more spending from the people, and less spending from the government. The Republican Party wants the tax rate to not be affected regardless of how much wealth a person has, and wants the tax rate to be reduced in order to
Republicans want to limit the number of social programs and encourage the individual states to be more active in their own social welfare. Democrats feel that more government is better, where the Republicans feel that the individual states should have more power. Democrats favor gun control legislation most of the time. Republicans do not seem as interested in that issue, and many Republicans can be viewed as pro gun advocates. Democrats favor affirmative action for minorities and women. Republicans favor helping the entrepreneur and tend to give tax breaks to big business. Democrats champion the cause of labor unions, while Republicans realizing that union votes are important, at the same time feel that labor unions have too much power and cost big business too much money. The next set of political differences about the issues of capital punishment and abortion rights are quite paradoxical. Democrats favor a woman’s right to choose, at the same time they are against the death penalty and want to rehabilitate prisoners. Republicans, many of them are pro-life as well as in favor of capital punishment and being tough on crime. Democrats want the government to be more involved in public education, and want more money dispersed for student loans. Republicans want the states to take the responsibility for educating their children and also want to provide vouchers as an alternative to public school. This issue is also tied to how Republicans are
The Republican Party’s beliefs are far vaguer and broad than the Democratic Party’s. The Republican Party has a list about 11 core principles they follow whereas the Democratic Party has 9 points that go into much detail. The Republican Party believes in sticking true to the Constitution, whatever power the Constitution gives the government is the amount of power they should have and valuing human life. The Democratic Party’s preamble does not mention anything about sticking true to the Constitution or preserving human life. But they do talk about equal opportunity for everyone, allowing people to have access to affordable health care, a good job, a good home, have clean air to breath, clean water to drink. The Democratic Party also emphasizes that people who work in a business are just as important as those who own it, workers should be paid a wage that they can survive off of, taxes should be taken fairly, and that the government should not favor corporations who have are not practicing fairly by keeping their money abroad, mistreating their workers and mistreating the
Republicans and Democrats have many different views on many different subjects, and although they may agree on some topics they disagree on a lot as well. One of the disagreements being their stance on education. Republicans want to limit the federal government’s role in education and eliminate federal loans only to be left with private loans. Democrats on the other hand want to make receiving financial aid and such resources easier to get instead of getting rid of them. The Democratic party supports education for poorer Americans more than Republicans.
From looking at the graphs, there is a clear correlation between party allegiance and how whether or not the government should reduce income differences. Where 58% of Democrats think that the government should reduce income differences, only 31% of Republicans think that they should. This is most likely because Republican ideals favor less government intervention in business. They often believe that restricting the market will result in fewer jobs. Democrats would often say that reducing the income differences will give more money to consumers, who will buy more things which is good for the economy. Something else that I have noticed from talking to Democrats and Republicans is that Democrats often believe that the poor are taken advantage of by the rich and they should be compensated. Republicans often think, in my experience, that the rich are rich because they worked hard for it and shouldn’t have their money taken from them to benefit the people that they don’t think worked as hard.
There’re two major political parties in the United States. These two political parties are the Democrats and the Republicans. The Democratic Party was originally the Antifederalist Party and is one of the longest lasting political parties in the United States. The Republican Party, also known as the GOP (Grand Old Party), was created before the start of the American Civil War and usually leans more towards the right on the political compass when compared to the Democratic Party. The three biggest differences in policy between these two political parties are security policies, health care policies, and economic policies.
Republicans are broadly in favor of the status quo, or a reform of the financing system that gives more power to the citizen, often through tax credits. Both sides have also looked to more philosophical arguments, debating
The republicans believe that people should work their way to the top on their own without any assistance. The Democratic Party on the other hand believes in providing the poor with assistance, helping them get out of poverty. The political system is structured to limit the poor from having any political
