The Democratic Party was founded in 1828 on the ideals of Andrew Jackson and Martin van Buren. The color most often associated with democrats is Blue. This party traces its origins to the Democratic-Republic party founded by Jefferson, Madison, and other Federalist opponents. The party split after dissent over who would succeed President Monroe, the Democratic faction were loyal to may old Jeffersonian ideals.

The Libertarian Party is the third largest political party in the United States after the Democratic and Republican parties. It was found in 1971 by David Nolan and promotes civil liberties, lassiez-faire capitalism, non-interventionism, and shrinking the size of the government.

Identify the statement that describes the relationship between property and voting rights in America.
Andrews [41]

Answer: <u>By 1860 in all but one state, land ownership was not required to vote</u>

Explanation:

Constitution gives every citizen right to participate in the process of forming the government by the way of bestowing upon them right to vote.  But who has this right to vote has always been a big question as over period of time, the eligibility criteria has undergone many changes.  

By the year 1790 many states in U.S. made the property or land ownership as the qualification for exercising the right to vote as a result of which women and blacks were disqualified from voting. But with time this qualification criterion was also changed and by 1860 except in one state, land ownership was not necessary for exercising the voting rights.
