After the War of Independence, some institutions such as the Bank of the United States were granted legal personality by the state or federal authorities. Of course, some of them ceased to exist (inc. the Bank), and lost their legal personality.
Did e.g. Jefferson's party (the Democrat-Republicans) ever have the status of a legally recognised entity, at either the state or federal level? Did it cease to have this status, before being resurrected by Jackson?
Edit: The point isn't which party it was; the question would be the same whether it was the Whig, Anti-Federalist, or any other.
A legal person, in legal contexts often simply person, less ambiguously legal entity, is any human or non-human entity, in other words, any human being, firm, or government agency that is recognized as having legal rights and obligations, such as having the ability to enter into contracts, to sue, and to be sued.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_person. If the Republican or Democratic parties can directly, say, pay for ads or hire some rooms at the Watergate or have bank accounts, they are legal persons. – SJuan76 Aug 13 '17 at 22:25
