Based on cultural politics, there are significant differences between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, and these differences mostly focus on ideology. First, Democrats are generally liberal and this can be seen through the constitutional reforms authored by them supporting gay marriage and other values believed to be evolving as society changes. In contrast, Republicans are conservative since many of its founders were religious and gave importance to moral values. This explains why Republicans are more aggressive when it comes to disapproving abortion and same sex marriage. Furthermore, the Democrats believe that the government has the power when it comes to national interests, but in devising economic and social policies, they think that government should be cautious. On the other hand, Republicans, through the ideology of one of their members, the Whigs, argue that the government should act especially  in using governmental power to promote, regulate, correct, and reform  ( Democratic Party ).
