The Republican Party
The Republican Party commonly referred to as the Grand Old Party, or the GOP, is one out of the two major recognized political organizations of the United States of America. The other political organization, of course, is the known as the Democratic Party. For decades, these two political parties have been at the forefront of leading and directing the American government and political system. There are however, a few minor “third parties” that are lesser known and have a relatively minor impact on American government, politics, and society. Both the Republican Party and Democratic Party are fairly even in terms of supporters, with roughly about half the nation considering themselves republican while the other half shares the democratic point of view.

Political Parties
A minor yet essential aspect of what really distinguishes the United States of America from all the other nations of the world is the freedom of choice that American citizens are granted. One of the major cornerstones that the United States is built upon is stated in the irreplaceable and ever important document that states the fundamental principles of our great nation.
