Preferred term

Democratic-Republican party  

Definition

  • The term Democratic-Republican embraces two political movements: one in the 1790s–1800s, and a second, vaguely related to the first, that emerged in the 1820s and lasted until the early 1830s. During the 1790s, the democratic impulses emanating from revolutionary France, coupled with growing fears that the new American government was adopting policies hostile to the common man, gave rise to the movement.
