Frequent Questions
This party makes the most sense to make the United States a powerful, independent, and elite country. Since we defeated the British (both times) we have proven that it is possible to defeat the best without the best. If we do not get a strong central government, the citizens could overthrow us. Also, so the president doesn't abuse his power.
Issues
