Strong Central Government House Of Representatives
744 words
The Democratic Republicans were almost always
characterized as believing in following the strict
construction of the constitution. They were
opposed to the loose interpretation the
Federalists used. The presidencies of Jefferson
and Madison proved this characterization to be

A cult is a system of religious worship. These
groups can vary in size. One cult may have a
leader with a few followers, yet another may have
a complex chain of command. They may use secret
signals that cannot be understood by outsiders.
