Democratic Party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The party platform represents the views of the majority of delegates to its national convention and is usually heavily influenced by the presidential nominee of that year. |
 | | The Democratic Party, in its platform in 2000 and 2004, called for abortion to be "safe, legal and rare"—namely, keeping it legal by rejecting laws that allow governmental interference in abortion decisions, and reducing the number of abortions by promoting both knowledge of reproduction and contraception, and incentives for adoption. |
 | | This party arose from opposition to the policies of the ruling Federalists, dominated by Alexander Hamilton, which advocated a strong central government, a loose interpretation of the Constitution, and a republic governed by elites. |
