Democrats and Republicans

Conclusion

Thomas Nast, Andrew Jackson, and other political figures impacted political parties due to their shaping of political party mascots.

Democracy: government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system.

Republic: a state in which the supreme power rests in the body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by representatives chosen directly or indirectly by them (dictionary.reference.com).
