I don't mean this in a objective way. But weren't the people who created the Constitution in favor of a strong federal government?
Or at least a Federal Gov't that had more power than the states,
and that Republicans nowadays are typically in favor of more state rights?
Also, you CAN'T say political parties back then are the same as know.
In fact, during Reconstruction it was the Republicans who were protecting minorty interests (namely, when the federal troops were stationed in the south)
Conservatives were loyal to the crown.
Liberals founded America.

The name was first used by Thomas Jefferson's party, later called the Democratic Republican party or, simply, the Democratic party. The name reappeared in the 1850s, when the present-day Republican party was founded.
The Federalist Party was the first American political party, from the early 1790s to 1816, the era of the First Party System, with remnants lasting into the 1820s. The Federalists controlled the federal government until 1801. The party was formed by Alexander Hamilton, who, during George Washington's first term, built a network of supporters, largely urban bankers and businessmen, to support his fiscal policies.
If America was founded by Republicans why do we have Democrats?
So that you can think you have a choice, and your ruling elites can say you have "democracy".
.damn, you're 10 pounds of stupid in a 5 lb bag..
Dear, Nazis would be a choice too, but what we want is a choice consistent with basic American principles. Democrats spied for Stalin, BO had two communist parents and voted to the left of Bernie Sanders. That's not a choice consistent with American principles.
Isn't "democracy" what the majority of the population of any given country want for themselves at any given period in history?

yes but who cares?? We thankfully don't have a democracy, we have a Constitutional democracy because our founders knew that common people are not worthy of 100 % of the power. So common people are represented by 3 branches of government the press and the
