The political system is laid out in the 1907 Oklahoma Constitution. Oklahoma is currently categorized politically as conservative. The state has a history of Democratic state government dominance. Oklahoma came into being as a state at the height of the era of Jim Crow Laws and had a Ku Klux Klan presence in the 1920s. Race politics gave way to Democratic political infighting over the New Deal in the 1930s and 1940s and the gradual growth of the Oklahoma Republican Party's power. Today all of Oklahoma's federal offices, and all but one of its statewide offices, are held by the Republican Party, which also holds supermajorities in both chambers of the state Legislature.
