The party advocates a platform which reflects the party's interpretation of the principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, the Bill of Rights, as well as the Bible. The party believes that the United States is a Christian nation founded on the basis of the Bible and that jurisprudence should be restored to what the party claims is its "Biblical foundations".〔(Preamble to Constitution Party Platform ) "The Constitution Party gratefully acknowledges the blessing of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as Creator, Preserver and Ruler of the Universe and of these United States. We hereby appeal to Him for mercy, aid, comfort, guidance and the protection of His Providence as we work to restore and preserve these United States. This great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions but on a foundation of Christian principles and values. For this very reason peoples of all faiths have been and are afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here. The goal of the Constitution Party is to restore American jurisprudence to its Biblical foundations and to limit the federal government to its Constitutional boundaries."〕 It has been described by its critics as a theocratic and dominionist party as with its predecessor, the U.S. Taxpayers Party. ==History== The party was founded as the "U.S. Taxpayers' Party" by Howard Phillips in 1991.〔Sara Diamond, "The U.S. Taxpayers Party"; ''The Guardian''; UK; October 9, 1991; reprinted in ''Facing the Wrath''; Common Courage Press; 1996.〕 Phillips was also the party's candidate in the 1992, 1996 and 2000 presidential elections. The party's name was changed to ''the Constitution Party'' in 1999; however, some state affiliate parties are known under different names. The party's platform is predicated on the party's understanding of the original intent of the nation's founding documents.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Constitution Party National Platform )〕 The party absorbed the American Independent Party, which was founded for George Wallace's 1968 presidential campaign. The Constitution Party receives substantial support from Christian Right organizations and claims to be the "philosophical home" of the Tea Party.〔(Isn't the Constitution Party the same at the Tea Party? ) ''The Constitution Party'', Retrieved March 22, 2014〕 The Constitution Party candidate, former congressman Tom Tancredo, came in second place in the 2010 Colorado gubernatorial election with 36.43% of the vote, ahead of Republican Dan Maes with 11.13%. In 2006, Rick Jore, of the then recently disaffiliated Constitution Party of Montana, was elected to the Montana House of Representatives with 56.2% of the vote, defeating Democrat Jeanne Windham. ==Affiliated organizations== The following table displays select Constitution Party state affiliate parties, chapters, and organizations. ; All affiliates state in their platforms support for strict adherence to the Declaration of Independence, and the U.S. Constitution. Many also specifically add their home state constitutions to the mix. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Constitution Party (United States)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
