In the early nineteenth century democrats were more aligned in their beliefs and practices to what we would now call republicans. There was no party known as the republicans at the time. There is some debate over whether or not the federalists had any beliefs that align with todays democrats and they are generally seen as the precursors to modern day republicans, especially in their approach to how laws were made and their opinions on the strong powers of a centralized government.

Were they involved in mainstream politics at all? Does anyone know more about this topic?
