Are the republicans or the democratics called the radical party?

Neither. Radical means something very unusual/extreme, therefore not the norm. If at least 85% of the country would call themselves either republican or democrat then that is a majority and neither is radical. If you want a radical party check out the Black Panther party, and many others, THAT's radical.

What proposals did the radical Republicans make?
I assume you are referring to the group of Republicans in the era of the Civil War, rather than some Republicans in the current congress who make controversial statements. The "Radical Republicans" of the early 1860s were a group of Republicans who believed that President Lincoln was not moving fast enough. They wanted a total end to slavery and they believed both races should have equal rights (we may assume they referred to males, since at that time, the idea of giving the vote to women was not being discussed). The "Radical Republicans," who included journalist Horace Greeley, lawyer and politician Benjamin Wade, and abolitionist Frederick Douglass, vehemently opposed the Fugitive Slave Act, believed black soldiers should be allowed to serve in the Union army, and wanted a bolder plan for Reconstruction, one that dismantled the white power structure in the deep south. For their era, these Republicans were very much ahead of their time, and were seen as "radicals" in comparison to most of the party, which preferred a more moderate set of changes, or in some cases, no change at all.

Because Democratic is an adjective. Democrat is the noun form of that word. On the other hand, Republican is both an adjective and a noun, hence why members of the Republican Party are Republicans.
