The Democratic and Republican parties underwent a significant shift in their political stances between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Originally, Republicans championed a strong federal government and progressive reforms, while Democrats favored limited government and states' rights.

Meanwhile, Republicans increasingly adopted a platform of smaller government and business-friendly policies.
