The unifying principle of the Whig party was?
In its earliest years, the Whig Party was unified solely by its opposition to President Andrew Jackson (leader of the "Democratic" Party).In fact, the name "Whig" was chosen by party members to identify their opposition to the "tyranny" of "King Andrew" (as they nicknamed him) with that of the British anti-royal Whig Party of the 18th century. (Note that, during the later part of the American Revolution, the Tory Party supported King George III in the war effort, and these were opposed by the Whigs.)Less cynically, many of the "republican" principles of Whigs in Parliament during the 17th and 18th century were those championed by the founding fathers. The naming of parties to identify the principles they stood for was common early in American history: early supporters of the Constitution were "Federalists"; their opponents (a group organized esp around Jefferson & Madison) adopted the name "Republicans"; Jackson's supporters called themselves "Democrats" or "the Democracy".
What four factors contributed to the state of the major parties?
1. A sharp drop in the number of voters willing to identify themselves as republicans or democrats, and a growing number who regard themselves as independents. 2. A big increase in split ticket voting-voting for candidates of different parties for different offices at the same election. 3. Various structural changes and reforms that have made the parties more "open," but have also led to greater internal conflict and disorganization. These changes range from the introduction of the direct primary in the early 1900s to the more recent and far-reaching changes in campaign finance laws. 4. Changes in the technology of campaigning for office-especially the heavy use of televison and of the Internet, professional campaign managers, and direct-mail advertising.

(Many history texts, inaccurately act as if this compound name was the standard in the early days, probably to help readers keep clear that they are not referring to the later "Republican" party formed in the mid-1850s.) "Democrats" all by itself only became the standard when one group within this party organized behind Andrew Jackson in the 1820s.
