The Constitution Party (CP), named the U.S. Taxpayers' Party until 1999, is an ultraconservative political party in the United States. The party promotes Christian nationalism and cultural conservatism combined with right-libertarianism and protectionism, in a variant of American fusionism.
The party was founded by Howard Phillips, a conservative activist, after President George H. W. Bush violated his pledge of "read my lips: no new taxes".
As of 2026,[update] the Constitution Party is the 7th-largest political party in the United States by voter registration.[a] The Constitution Party has seen limited success in local elections, but almost no success in state or federal elections, behind the Working Families Party or Democratic Socialists of America.
History
At the 1988 Republican National Convention, Republican presidential nominee George H. W. Bush stated "read my lips: no new taxes", but later raised taxes in a 1990 compromise. Conservative activist Howard Phillips ran the U.S. Taxpayers Alliance newsletter. Over 1990-91, Phillips used this mailing list to organize a third party called the U.S. Taxpayers' Party.[8][9][10] In July 1991, Phillips attempted to create a coalition with the American Party, which was rejected.[11] In July 1991, USTP launched its first ballot access petition drive, to get party candidate Jack Perry on the ballot in the 1991 US Senate special election in Pennsylvania.[12]
In 1992, USTP sought to nominate Ross Perot or Pat Buchanan, who both declined,[13][14] leading Phillips to run.[15] In 1996, the party sought Pat Buchanan again, who declined again,[16] leading Phillips to run again.[17]
On September 3, 1999, the USTP national convention renamed the party to the Constitution Party (CP).[18][19] In 2000, the party split in two, with those who advocated an explicitly religious party leaving to create the American Heritage Party, now named the Christian Liberty Party.[20][21]
In the 2005 special election for CA-48, Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist was the nominee of the California American Independent Party, then affiliated with the Constitution Party.[22] Gilchrist raised more money than all Democratic candidates combined.[23] Gilchrist placed 3rd with 26,507 votes (25.5%),[24] the highest vote share for a third party candidate for US House election where both major parties participated since the A Connecticut Party received 26.3% in 1994 for CT-1.[25]
In the 2010 Colorado gubernatorial election, Colorado CP affiliate American Constitution Party nominated Tom Tancredo, who received 36% of the popular vote, over the 10% required for major party status in Colorado.[26] Major party status in Colorado gave the party the ability to appoint members to some state boards and commissions, but the party suffered from complicated campaign finance reports and fines from errors in their submissions, which ultimately gave the party a negative bank account balance.[27][28]
In 2024, in North Carolina's newly-redrawn 6th district, the Democratic Party did not field a candidate, yielding a two-way race between Republican Addison McDowell and Constitution Party member Kevin Hayes.[29] Hayes lost with 104,017 votes (30.8%).[30]
Republicans have criticized the party as a spoiler party.[31][32] In some cases, the Democratic Party has helped Constitution Party candidates, such as running ads for the CP nominee in the 2020 South Carolina Senate election[33] or helping 2024 CP presidential candidate Randall Terry get ballot access.[34]
Political positions
The Constitution Party has been described as paleoconservative[5] or ultraconservative,[4] Christian right,[2] or Christian reconstructionist.[3] The party promotes Social conservative[2] and fiscal conservative views[2] and is usually described as far-right.[6]

The Constitution Party supports private charity and rejects all social insurance and social spending as inefficient and un-Constitutional.[42][better source needed] The party opposes Medicaid and Medicare[43][better source needed] and supports phasing out Social Security.[44][45][better source needed] The party seeks to eliminate income taxes and payroll taxes, using only tariffs and excise taxes.[46][better source needed] The party supports the gold standard.[45][better source needed] The party also supports a ban on fractional-reserve banking.[45][better source needed]

Social issues
Christian reconstructionist leader R. J. Rushdoony helped write the party's 1992 platform, which stated "the U.S. Constitution established a republic under God, not a democracy".[citation needed] The Constitution Party supports Christian dominionism, the remaking of government and society according to Old Testament Biblical law.[49] The 2004 platform states that the Lordship of Christ Jesus and the Bible are the final authority of law.[50]
The party opposes same-sex marriage, saying "our Creator defines marriage as the union between one man and one woman", and opposes same-sex adoption.[51][better source needed] It supports proscriptions on "offensive sexual behavior" and rejects "the notion that homosexuals, transgenders [sic] or those who are sexually deviant" deserve legal protection.[52][better source needed] The party supports a pornography ban, calling it a "destructive element" that yields "real emotional, physical, spiritual and financial costs to individuals, families and communities".[53][better source needed] The party opposes abortion in all cases.[54][better source needed] The party supports the death penalty.[55][better source needed]
The Constitution Party supports stricter immigration controls and an immigration moratorium until federal welfare programs are eliminated.[56][better source needed] The party rejects jus soli citizenship for children of illegal immigrants. The party says the United States military should enforce immigration policy.[56][better source needed] The party supports English as the official language and English as a citizenship requirement.[56][better source needed]
Democratic reform
The Constitution Party supports the Electoral College and opposes a national popular vote.[45][better source needed] The party seeks to repeal the Seventeenth Amendment, which requires the direct popular election of Senators, and before which state legislatures elected all Senators.[57][better source needed] The party supports very strong states' rights, holding that each state's membership in the Union is voluntary (the compact theory) with a right to secede.[58][better source needed]
Foreign policy
The Constitution Party supports a protectionist tariff system to counteract the United States' negative balance of trade.[59][better source needed] The party supports US withdrawal from multinational and international organizations, such as the United Nations, NATO, NAFTA, and the WTO.[citation needed]
Structure and composition
