While the far left of the spectrum are the extreme liberals, or the most extreme democrats. Everyone pays taxes to equalize society. Government should solve all problems and people who can’t take care of themselves should count on government.
Republicans are usually considered conservative (fiscally as well as socially), maybe a little pious, and pro-business and against the bureaucracy often associated with big government.

      analytical essay
      With Jefferson leading the way, Republicans took on the position of a strict interpretation of the Constitution, which did not allow the federal government to take any action that was not specifically addressed by the Constitution.

      comparative essay
