Democrats and Republicans

Instructions:

This essay is comprised of two components. The essay must be at least 1000 words overall. Please include a works cited page as well. 

Part One:

  • Begin by completing the following political ideology quizzes:
    • Advocates for Self Government a libertarian website: www.theadvocates.org/quiz
    • (I did it and my result was Political type: Moderate Individual traits: Personal – 60, Economic – 40)
    • Pew Research Center for People & the Press: www.people-press.org/typlogy/quiz
    • (I did it and the result was: Populist Right are very conservative and overwhelmingly Republican; they stand out for their intensely negative views of immigration. Unlike other GOP-oriented groups, they are highly critical of large corporations and banks and say the economic system unfairly favors powerful interests. They express strong support for former President Donald Trump; a majority say he should run for president again in 2024. Like the other two deeply ideologically conservative typology groups, Populist Right are overwhelmingly White. However, in contrast with these groups, a majority are women. Populist Right also have less formal education than most other typology groups; just two-in-ten are college graduates.)
  • Next, analyze the results. Do you believe that these quizzes accurately measured your ideological leanings to the right or the left? Why or why not?

Part Two:

  • Some people argue that there are no significant differences between the two major parties.  Backing up your perspective with appropriate sources, what are the major differences and similarities in the views of the Democratic and Republican parties (e.g., this review of party platforms, 1856-2016 www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/2016-election/conventions/party-platform-evolution/)?  What are the primary areas of difference between contemporary Democrats and Republicans? How are the two parties similar? What are the consequences of these patterns for voters and election outcomes?  For policy outcomes?
