Constitution

Highest Office Won: 0
Founded: 1952 in Los Angeles, CA.

The Constitution Party was founded in 1952 at Los Angeles, and became active in California politics in the same year. In the 1952 Presidential race, the party nominated General Douglas MacArthur (who rejected the nomination), also ran as the Christian Nationalist candidate. The party ran another candidate for President four years later, but again failed to capture a significant number of votes. The final major California campaign run by the party was the write-in of the party State Chairman William P. Gale for Governor in 1958. The party, which never attracted large numbers of voters, continued to run candidates until sometime in the 1968 election, by which time it was only on the ballot in one state.

NOTE: It is is important to distinguish that this Constitution Party from the current national Constitution Party (founded in 1992 as the Taxpayers Party).
