In American politics, political parties have served as the primary means of promoting the broad participation of citizens in government. Actively discouraged by the Founders, parties developed in response to the problems of democratic conflict and the burgeoning desire of Americans to participate in politics. Parties have proven themselves to be indispensable to promoting democracy in a variety of ways, but Americans have always had an ambivalent relationship with partisanship. Anti-partisan attitudes have a long and pronounced history, and their enactment in law and custom has done much to reduce the role of citizens in politics. While partisanship largely reigned unchallenged in the nineteenth century, the balance strongly shifted toward anti-partisanship in the twentieth. Many states at the turn of the last century sought to curtail or eliminate the influence of parties, and shifted instead to direct democracy, non-partisanship, and enlightened administration. Through historical and empirical analysis, this dissertation examines American anti-partisanship, evaluates the consequences of anti-party reform for popular politics, and illustrates the continuing essential role partisanship plays in promoting democracy in America.
