The Albany Regency was organized in 1820 under Martin Van Buren, and acquired its name because his first aides, Silas Wright , William L. Marcy , and Azariah C. Flagg , residing in the state capital of Albany and nearby, managed the machine as his regents during Van Buren's absence in the United States Senate . The Regency developed party discipline and originated the control of Party Conventions through officeholders and others subservient to it. The Spoils System was the core of its philosophy. The Regency waned when Van Buren's power faded in the 1840s. REFERENCES
