1787 Galcean Federal Election

The federal election of 1787 was the first federal election held in Galcea following Galcean Revolution. The Galcean Revolution was an event where the colony of Galcea, which was under rule by the Empire of Arcanonca, rebelled against its Empire and declared its independence.

Background
In 1712, The Empire of Arcanonca invaded and conquered the Kingdom of Galcea. The people of Galcea were put under strict rule and were forced to be a colony. They were starved of representation and food by Arcanonca. Protests were violently put down, and the voice of the people was silenced. In later 1781, The people of Galcea rebelled and officially declared independence. After around 4-5 Years of war, The Galcean people won their independence.

As soon was the Constitution was ratified, political parties began to form. The first was the Conservative party, which was a defender of Tariffs, a national bank, and large government. The founder of the party, Edward Blackburn, initially was going to lead the party in the election, but when Henry Camble announced his support for the party, most party members flocked to him to lead. Camble initially declined to run, instead wanting Blackburn to run, but with the convincing of the people, and even Blackburn himself, Camble decided to run.

The second party to form was the Liberal part. The party advocated for low tariffs, and small government. The party also was against the idea of a national bank. George Henry Rose and James Pitten founded the party in opposition to Blackburn. George Henry Rose led the party in the election, and would be a popular face in the party.

All mainstream parties supported the constitution.
