	Democratic Party - MSN Encarta
		In the 1830s, under presidents Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, the Democratic Party developed the characteristics it retained until the end of the century.
		Democrats argued that the national government should do nothing the states could do for themselves, and the states nothing that localities could do.
		A major source of the party’s cohesion was its strong organization, which enabled it to fight elections effectively, keep the party together between elections, and shape and influence government decisions.

	Democratic party. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		With the demise of the Whig party in the election of 1852 and the emergence of the sectional, antislavery Republican party in 1854 (succeeding the Free-Soil party), the Democrats remained the sole national party.
		At the Democratic Convention of 1860 the party split, Northern Democrats nominating Douglas, and the Southern Democrats choosing John C. Breckinridge, thus facilitating the victory of Abraham Lincoln.
		Although the Democrats retained their solid majorities in Congress (except for the Senate in 1980, 1982, and 1984), the victorious national coalition built by Nixon was sustained by Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1984 and by George H. Bush in 1988.

	Revamped leftist party publishes new platform, finalises internal elections
		AMMAN — The recently re-christened Democratic Party of the Left (DPL), formerly known as the Jordanian Democratic Unionist Party (JDUP), Thursday completed an overall restructuring programme with the election of the party's administrative, organisational and disciplinary bodies and the publication of its platform.
		Party sources told the Jordan Times that the new name had been floating for almost one year and that the previous name was a compromise to accommodate nationalists who joined the party at its formation.
		The former JDUP was born in 1995 from the merger of three leftist parties: the Jordan Popular Democratic Party, the Social Democratic Party, and the Jordanian Arab Democratic Party.

		The core of the Democratic party's support lay in southern slave plantations, farms of all sizes in every part of the nation, and immigrants in the urban centers of the eastern seaboard.
		Democrats tended to be drawn from the "outsider" groups in Anglo-Saxon society: the Scots-Irish, Presbyterians, and other nonconforming religious and ethnic groups, who had long been in conflict with the dominant groups in the British Isles.
		Democrats worshiped, it was said, at "the shrine of party." It was indispensable, its members believed, to everything that went on in American politics.

		In February 1997, Acevedo Vilá was elected President of the Popular Democratic Party.
		Acevedo and his party believed that the definition for the commonwealth which was included in the plebsicite ballot was ill-defined; therefore, his party campaigned for the "none of the above" option, which ultimately won over the other options on the ballot.
		This is due to the fact that the Legislative Assembly of Puerto Rico is controlled by a different party, the New Progressive Party (PNP by its acronym in Spanish).

		Gold Democrats and Republicans used this term contemptously, to emphasize that the radical proposals adopted in 1896 did not represent the "real," traditional views of the Democratic party.
		Silver Democrats' belief that such threats were widespread, combined with a perception that McKinley won by taking enormous sums from "trusts," lent special bitterness to their defeat.
