The Party for Democracy was founded on February 17, 1781, being the single oldest party in the nation. The Party called for an end to the monarchy, elitism, and a move to a more free society. 
By 1788 the party had grown into a regional party, nominating George Washington and Gerald Smith for President, getting only 13 Electors. The party would nominate the same ticket in the Presidential Election of 1792, but would only get 6 electors. They would hold the Speaker of the House Seat from 1789-1793.
The Party for Democracy would officially dissolve itself on April 16, 1799 after making a deal with the Democratic Party to merge the two. Many people in the Party for Democracy were outraged by this move, moving to People's Vote. The two merging parties would form the Democratic Union Party.
