** Republican's Philosophy **

Republicans reject the attempts of many Democrats to use the power of the legislature to force citizens to behave according to lawmakers' persona l preferences. They also believe that public policy and law should derive from individuals who have an important stake and membership in the community. So basically they believe that the power should be in the individual rather than the government. “Each individual is endowed by the Creator with the freedom to seek and achieve goals and is also obliged to respect the rights of others to seek and achieve goals. Each is endowed with free will which brings the responsibility to respect as well as compete.” The constitution strongly enhances the rights for each individual and the Republican Party philosophy encourages individual support for our laws and the court system. The republican philosophy also consists of a strong national defense system. It is required to keep the nation safe from outside threats. “World peace depends on a strong America, and a strong America depends on strong Americans.”

**2 Major Issues of the Republican Party** ﻿By: Maegan Camaisa ﻿Work Cited: http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Major-Issues-the-Republican-Party-Faces&id=953705

**﻿1.** //They do agree that a safety net should be provided for those who are needy and less fortunate but believe that the private sector would be more effective than the government in meeting these objective. Towards this end, they have been trying to privatize 'social security funds management'.//

The Republican Party believe that a safety net is necessary to have for those who are less fortunate because those who are poor are always living on the edge, and are never guaranteed even just basic necessities for them to survive. Although, the Republican Party doesn't want the government to control their social security funds, but have a private organization to handle it. It's best because it gives those who are struggling with money reassurance and security knowing that if worse comes to worse, they're still safe. **2.** //They oppose racial quotas, and abortions.//

The Republican Party are against racial quotas because they are for a diverse environment where it's fair for all, at the same time they are also against abortions because of many reasons such as giving an opportunity for all people to live. This is best because they want to make sure that an environment is filled with many races to be fair to all and about abortion, it's best because it no one has an option of killing a baby, instead raise it healthy.

Nast drew a donkey wearing lion's skin, scaring away all the animals at the zoo. One of those animals, the elephant, was labeled "The Republican Vote." That's all it took for the elephant to become associated with the Republican Party.
