Republican Party (United States) The Republican Party was founded in 1854. A group of anti-slaveryexpansion activists and modernizers formed the Republican Party inthe town of Ripon, Wisconsin. This party is often referred to as'The Grand Old Party' (GOP). The first truly significant Republicanto hold a high-level office was Abraham Lincoln, who was elected tothe office of President of the United States in 1860. AbrahamLincoln would be destined to lead the United States through thedarkest times of the country's existence, the American Civil War(The Republican Party would also oversee Reconstruction). TheAmerican Civil War caused tremendous social and economic upheavalfrom 1861 to 1865 and defined and solitified the Republican Partyas a political force in the United States from that point forward. The Republican Party and the Democratic Party are the two majorparties in the United States. There are also minor parties thatcompete with the Republican and Democratic Parties for all levelsof Government within the United States, however, these minorparties are to numerous to list here (If you are interested in thisinformation in detail, perform a search on: 'political parties inthe united states of america'. The Republican Party hasapproximately 55 million registered voters, encompassing roughlyone-third of the overall electorate for the united States. There have been nineteen Republican Presidents (To view a list ofnames and life history of these Presidents, perform a search on:'list of republican presidents of the united states'). Republicanscurrently (April, 2009) fill a minority of seats in both the UnitedStates Senate and the House of Representatives, hold a minority ofstate governorships, and control a minority of state legislatures. The Republican Party The Republicans are represented by the image of an elephant. Thereason for the two animals dates back to the 1800s, and a politicalcartoonist named Thomas Nast. The Democrats' symbol started outwith Andrew Jackson's presidential campaign; his opponents calledhim a jackass. A jackass is a male donkey, so Mr. Jackson'scampaign workers made a donkey the symbol of his campaign. (He gotelected, so it must have worked.) Later, the cartoonist Thomas Nastused donkeys to represent Democrats in his cartoons. TheRepublicans got the elephant symbol from another Nast cartoon, oneshowing the Democrats as intimidating bullies because at the time,they were. This one showed a donkey wrapped in a lion's skinscaring off all the animals in the zoo. The elephant was labeled"The Republican Vote." A republican (small r) is a person who believes in representativedemocracy, a government in which the people elect delegates(congress and senate) to make the laws and to run the day to dayaffairs of the government. Under a republic, the people holdsovereign power and the elected representatives are responsible tothe people. A Republican (large R) is a member of the RepublicanParty, one of the two major political parties of the United States. Republicans are funded by special interests just as Democrats are.This funding, received by both parties, may influence the way theelected officials vote and reduce the influence of the people whoseopinions they should be representing.

Republicans tend to oppose gun control, abortion, gay marriage,labor unions, socialism, Marxism, etc. They tend to supportpersonal responsibility, a strong but smaller government, statesrights, less regulation, and lower taxes. They tend to see socialservice type work as the job of non-profit agencies and churches. Those who criticize Republicans tend to say that they supportmostly the wealthy, that they are racist and/or bigoted, and thatthey oppose science. Republicans are not so much against science as much as they don'tlike people manipulating others with supposed science. Yes, humansmay contribute to climate change, but that shouldn't give othersthe right to use climate change as a club to bully with. Yes,obesity and diabetes are problems, but they're not the government'sresponsibility to fix for the most part, according to Republicanethics. That is the job of individuals. If you cannot avoid eatingfast food, that is your problem, and there is no reason to penalizethose who don't have problems with misusing fast food. Also,Republicans don't see it as the government's job to fix you if youdo wreck your own health. You should have either taken care ofyourself better, paid into insurance when you were healthy, or hada medical savings account.

Republicanism is the political movement to establish a republic, which is a state that has no constitutionally hereditary ruler. A republic is not necessarily a liberal democracy like the United States. It may be a brutally conservative dictatorship such as Cuba, China or North Korea. --- The following remarks are a romantic description of representative democracy, and have nothing to do with the question. A republic is a state in which the supreme power rests in the body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by representatives chosen directly or indirectly by them. It's a type of government system which stresses liberty and rights. Overall, the direct message is the citizens control the government.

From Wikipedia: The United States Republican Party is the second oldest currently existing political party in the United States after its rival, the Democratic Party . It emerged in 1854 to combat the Kansas Nebraska Act which threatened to extend slavery into the territories, and to promote more vigorous modernization of the economy. It had almost no presence in the South, but in the North it enlisted former Whigs and former Free Soil Democrats to form majorities, by 1858, in nearly every Northern state. The name itself comes from the partys support of the Republican form of government as layed out by our founders.

Same reason the Democrats call themselves Democrats. These names stem from "Republic" and "Democracy, two things most Americans have positive feelings toward. Each party wants to be seen as very patriotic, and using names like those helps their cause.

Their job is to obstruct foolish legislation as much as possible. Republicans are attempting to reinvent themselves as Conservatives, which are the true patriots of the American dream. Left wings extremists are attempting to use the current progressive movement to socialize America and turn it into a third world country.

It depends first on the context and definition of the terms "evolution" and "progress(ive)". The term evolution may be used in many different contexts; such as the evolution of species, or the evolution of technology. And the term progressive may have more than one meaning; such as implying some form of improvement over time, or merely implying non-stasis. Colloquially, the term evolution may refer to progress in terms of improvement. We might say, for example, that the rapid evolution of technology has led to great improvement in the quality of life. However, the same is not true when the terms are applied to science. Biological evolution, for example, describes how populations diverge, adapt, and differentiate over time resulting in new species. We might say that evolution progresses because it is not static, or because information is being added to the genomes of species over time; but not because there was any quantifiable improvement.

While republican (small r) relates to a republic, a state ruled by the people, or its type of government, Republican (capital R) relates to the political party of that name, or a member of that party.

There were many social and economic questions that intellectuals had asked of the rapid changes from the Industrial Revolution and the growth of capitalism in America. Progressives believed that these changes brought a new order appropriate to the new industrial age.

At the time, both the Republicans and Democrats believed that the Constitution as understood in the 1780s was the supreme law of the land and deserved to be treated as such. Roosevelt, on the other hand, believed that the Constitution should be interpreted as a flexible document that could be shaped to "adapt" to the "challenges of our day", thus concluding that neither party suited an agenda which, at the time, seemed radical to most Americans. This, consequently, resulted in his failed run for re-election, going up against former socialist member Woodrow Wilson. Roosevelt knew that without the concept of a flexible Constitution, most of his legislation would not have been able to become law, for example the establishment of the National Parks System and the FDA. Also, Rooselvelt supported Democratic Woodrow Wilson's national bank in the form of the Federal Reserve and also supported Wilson's first national income tax (which had been ruled unconstitutional in the latter part of the previous century). Under both the early 20th century Republicans and Democrats, race relations were actually improving when numerous less-than-comrehensive civil rights bills were brought before the Congress. However, on numerous occasions T.R. vetoed such legislation calling blacks, Native Americans, and Asians "inferior in the species". This same attitude was expressed by Woodrow Wilson when Wilson segregated the army during WWI and sent African American regiments on suicide missions.

For everyone it is different. Some people get worse while some people stop having seizures altogether. Epilepsy comes in so many forms, with many different causes and many levels of severity, that the prognosis is different for everyone, even for people with the same types.

Good question. I think they have allowed the radical right to take over the party. One can always hope they will eventually understand how wrong they are.

Yes, it is. It is an adjective form of the verb progress (to goforward). It can mean going forward, or gradual, or seekingimprovement.

Progressive is an adjective, based on the verb progress (to moveforward). Progressive means forward-moving, gradual, or aimed atimprovement.

it is just progressive i like what the person here wrote.. when i first saw this question i though it was stupid. i think before one ask this question, they must understand the definition of "progressives" progressive:change, improvement, or reform, as opposed to wishing to maintain things as they are,especially in political matters

Often whiplash pain worsens several days after the injury. For most, symptoms will slowly abate within about 3 months, with a smaller proportion of people the symptoms become chronic and disability may result.

Since all human beings are mortal, we can claim to have achieved mortality; I am not sure what kind of progress you have in mind.

Some men with gonorrhea may have no symptoms at all. However,common symptoms in men include a burning sensation when urinating,or a white, yellow, or green discharge from the penis that usuallyappears 1 to 14 days after infection. Sometimes men with gonorrheaget painful or swollen testicles. Women often have no symptoms. But this doesn't mean that no damageis being dome.

Muscle wasting or shortening (contracture) may develop in the arms or legs. Heart abnormalities (electrocardiogram (ECG) changes, arrhythmias), develop in about 30% of patients.

The word progress is a noun ( prog -ress) and a verb ( proh -gress). Another noun form is progression. Example uses: Noun: Your child's progress shows a steady improvement. Noun: It has been interesting to watch the progression of building a skyscrapper from sub basement to spire. Verb: You progress on this street until you come to the next traffic light, then you make a right.

While a conservative person is very right wing and holds moretraditional values and is typically against governmentintervention, such as social programs, a progressive conservativewould be further to the left on the political spectrum, but stillhold mostly traditional values.

Yes, you certainly can. But what you need first is a good operational definition of progress. You will measure the characteristics of success that you have made 'operational' by your definition. It goes without saying that there are many different ways to think of success and to determine whether or not it has been met. That is exactly why an operational definition is necessary.

Theodore Roosevelt was elected as a Republican President in 2004. In 2012, he formed his own Progressive Party, better known as the Bull-Moose Party and ran again.

The Progressives sought to enable a purer form of government by eliminating the corruption often found in seats of power. They supported prohibition, women's suffrage and efficiency in the hope of bringing more purity and transparency into political power.
