Changes

The '''Whig Party''', named after the Whigs of [[England]], was formed in [[America]] in response to [[Democrat]] [[President]] [[Andrew Jackson]]'s actions to increase the power of the executive branch. [[Henry Clay]] and [[Daniel Webster]] were members of a political party called the [[National Republicans]] who began to find common ground with southern Democrats such as [[John C. Calhoun]].  They argued that Jackson's powers were becoming "king-like" and begun referring to the Democratic Party as the [[Tories]] (Loyalists to the British monarchy during the [[American Revolution]]), hence they adopted the title of Whigs for their party.
