In its own words, the Constitution Party seeks "to restore our government to its Constitutional limits and our law to its Biblical foundations." Founded in 1992 as the US Taxpayer's Party, it became the Constitution Party in 1999, and absorbed the American Independent Party founded during the 1968 presidential campaign of Alabama Governor George Wallace.
A large focus of the party is immigration. The Constitution Party wants stricter penalties for illegal immigrants and a discontinuation of federal subsidies to immigrants.
