Abraham Lincoln was a member of the Whig Party and later a Republican. He believed that the government's job was to do what a community of people could not do for themselves. One of his greatest preoccupations as a political thinker was the issue of self-governance and the promise and problems that could arise from it.

Hope it helps..
