1856 Parlimentry Election

[Intell]

Intro:

The US is still a British commonwealth, in the hands of the British, in where American  leader George Washington, a proponent of federation worked out a compromise, to have US be part of the british commonwealth with democracy and american rights while still retaining the Monarchy and veto-power of British.

The US is a parliamentary democracy in where the elected parties choose who is the president, a position with very little power who has veto power and has close ties to British monarch, essentially following their orders.

US, has been long been controlled by the federalist party, mostly due to it's first leader, being George Washington, who was most instrument in the founding of the US. The opposition was traditionally from the democratic party, which wanted a more decentralized form of the government and voting rights for all 'white' people of the male gender, it also wants a republic which will surely be vetoed.

Voting Rights are still heavily restricted in the US, with the main control of the federalist party, as well as the subsequent veto power from the monarch, making voting rights go to only to 'loyals' of the monarch which are rich men owning property.However, suffrage was extended to 'black' freedman, albeit if they were loyal, rich and owned property. This extension, supported by most in the federalist party, was opposed to all in the democratic party, fearing uproar from their southern base.

Slavery is also restricted to southern states and there are laws requiring the 'humane' treating of slaves. Slavery are present in the states of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina as well as Georgia. However laws passed by state governments and approved by the courts have allowed the transposition of slaves from 'slave' states to free states, causing uproar among an essential part of the former federalist party, now called the republican party. These laws were pushed forth by the democratic party and supported by a small minority of Whig members who wanted to appease their southern base. This law essentially allowed slavery to be passed to 'free states', which had previously not been the case. This law, as passed by states government could not be vetoed by the monarch and attempts at stopping the spread of slavery, have been rules unconstitutional by the courts. .

Parties

Democratic Party:

The historical opposition, and very fewly elected into majority, democratic party has been the party supporting greater american autonomy, a secular society, as well as concepts of direct democracy as well as on the issue of slavery, 'popular sovereignty' which have been rejected by the federalist party as well as the monarch. The party is supportive getting rid of the natives,in where they currently preside to improve the conditions for the 'working' man. It calls for expansion of suffrage to all 'white males', while restricting the vote of black freedman, calling them not able to vote in a democracy like the US. The party supports slavery, opposes tariffs, the national bank, the church and is fiercely against the interests of the 'elite' controlling the working class, in where it has advocated assistance to these groups as well as supportive of immigrants in the struggle against the elite. It supports a republic and greater power to the states, which will surely be reject, leading people to question them on how they will achieve this, they call for a 'fight' against the control of the monarch and the British in society. To the collapse of the former federalist vote, it is the largest party, though it is in the minority, and therefore the PM is Millard Fillmore.  Their leader is James Buchanan, sticking to opposing tariffs, extending suffrage, helping the working class, with no mention of the issue of slavery or 'immigration'.

American Party:

Another split from the former mighty, Federalist party, was essentially all those that did not support the Republican Party. While the party is fiercely divided on the issue of slavery, it is instead focusing on anti-immigrant, anti-catholic elements in order to get elected. It supports suffrage for all protestant, 'american' males and is strongly opposed to the increase of the Catholic religion in the US. The party, is the most pro-business of any party, calling for a protectionist agenda, spike in tariffs, as well as a strong national government to help american businesses. It is fiercely pro-monarch, calling it a bedrock of american values, opposes any way restricting the powers of the monarch, as well as any 'protestant' or what they deem churches that coincide with 'american' values. It has called for a halt on non-British immigration, protection of workers against foreign 'aliens'. The party is second largest in parliament and their leader, is short lived PM, Millard Fillmore who is essentially running on fear of immigration as well as supporting labor and business, temperance, while completely avoiding the issue of Slavery.

Republican Party:

The republican party, formed in 1854 to counter the spread of slavery has been formed, decimating the former federalist party. The party calls for the restriction of slavery, improving the conditions of slaves and letting slavery die out in future generations. The party supports the idea of the US republic, however wants to maintain a close relationship with the British. They are also a business party, calling for high tariffs, supporting industrial business, it also supports restricting suffrage to 'educated' people of any race, as well as restricting immigration. On the subject of the monarch, it is supportive as long as it supports and furthers american interests and what the american people want, however some in the party has called for the lessening of monarch influence on american society, however supportive of maintaining the 'church of England' in society, while still allowing the freedom of religion thereof. It is currently the third largest party and is led by John C. Fremont and supported the 'american' party over 'Democratic' party following the results of the 1855 election. It is campaign for free labor, free men, free soil, restriction of slavery as well as taking a moderate stance on everything else.

North American Seceders Party

Led by prominent member of the former Federalist Party, Robert F. Stockton that strongly objected to working with the republican party and bolted from the party, when they did. They are supported by conservative Americans, who are supportive of slavery and which others have nothing different from the platform of the american party.

Federalist Party:

Remnants of the 'Federalist Party'. Supportive of business, restricting suffrage, supports the monarch, the party has faded into oblivion, with many joining the republican or american party. It is led by John Bell, who campaigns on for the strengthening of America and supporting our British partners.


Will we have the restriction of slavery, the monarch or immigration? Will we have a civil war over the monarch, slavery or not have a war at all?
