The Constitution Party is a political party. As of September 2019, it was a ballot-qualified party in 14 states. The Constitution Party is the fifth-largest political party in the United States. According to its website, the party supports "the principles of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, and the Bill of Rights. It is our goal to limit the federal government to its delegated, enumerated, Constitutional functions."[1][2]
The Constitution Party was established as the U.S. Taxpayers' Party in 1992. The founders organized the party in response to a perceived shift away from "limited and empowered local government, and very broad and significant individual freedoms." The Federal Election Commission officially recognized the party in 1996. Delegates to the party's 1999 national convention changed the name of the party to the Constitution Party.[3]
