Political parties formed in America due to their mistrust of a strong central government. Not only were these parties crucial in securing state rights, they also helped elect the right people to key positions within the federal government. Political parties were also formed to maintain a fair presence in the political arena.

Today, Republicans are mainly in the South, while the North and the West Coast are havens for democrats.
