| | History of the Whigs | Paul Ding in 2008 |
 | | During the American Revolution, there were two political parties in the colonies - the Whig party, which supported independence, and the Tories, who were loyalists to the crown. |
 | | The Constitution provides that Congress, elected by the people, establish the laws and policies of this country, with a second branch of government led by the President to execute the will of Congress, and a third branch of government, led by the Supreme Court, to settle disputes. |
 | | When Jacksonian Democrats attempted to treat the President as leader of the country, instead of a public servant, true patriots rose up and joined the Whigs in attempting to prevent this coup d'etat. |
