البنية الاجتماعية و الجغرافية للحزبين الديمقراطي و الجمهوري في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية

Abstract EN

The American Constitution's founders wanted the president of the US to be as far as possible from partisan competition.

But the social components of the American citizen contributed to the formation of partisan organizations, and every political and partisan organization has a social basis.

It works for a social class that usually belongs to all its members.

Most of them have demonstrated that the social structure of the two parties (the Democratic and the Republican) has proved that the presidency has become a central target for parties and the competition for the presidency offers the most important explanation for why parties in the United States have emerged.

Therefore, the political parties, especially the two major parties, can not be dispensed with at the election stage in order to support a candidate because they have a base that helps to support them during election days, especially the Democratic and Republican parties represent a different social and intellectual class.

The geographical structure of the two parties is based on the support provided by the states, whether red or blue, which was limited to the presidential elections of 2000 and extended to use today to Congress in both houses (deputies and senators), and Democrats rely on the elections on the votes of minorities, women and learners, which are large voting groups, While the Republicans rely on whites, workers and conservatives, voting groups concentrated in the west and central to the US south.
