The political spectrum of contemporary U.S. politics places liberals such as Democrats on the left and conservatives such as Republicans on the right.
Other political spectrums have been posed, dating back at least as far as the seating arrangements of the French National Assembly of 1789. [1]
Many attempts have been made to provide general or universal definitions for the terms "left" and "right", but none has gained consensus.
