Constitution Party
Contents |
The Constitution Party advocates a platform which aims to reflect the principles of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, and the Bill of Rights. Their policies are similar to that of the Libertarian Party in their strong belief in federalism, limited government, and non-intervention, but similar to the Republican Party in their stance against abortion, homosexual marriage, embryonic stem cell research, and illegal immigration.[2]
In 2006, Rick Jore of Montana became the first Constitution Party candidate elected to a state-level office,[3][4] though the Constitution Party of Montana had disaffiliated itself from the national party a short time before the election.
On April 26, 2008, Chuck Baldwin was nominated as the Constitution Party candidate for President of the United States in 2008.
