Starter  What are political parties?

Political Parties

Political Party  -An organization of individuals with broad, common interests who organize to win elections, to operate the government, and influence government policy.

Two-Party System  U.S. has a two-party system. The first two political parties developed over how gov’t should operate.  Democratic Republican Party Federalist Party  Democratic Party Whig Party  1854-Democratic Party Republican Party  Democrats: believe in more gov’t involvement to regulate the economy and provide housing, education, and jobs for the poor. Democrats tend to be more liberal in their beliefs.  Republicans: believe that to help the nation’s economy will provide to poor with a better chance of finding jobs. Republicans tend to be more conservative in their beliefs.

Two-Party Continued  Third Parties or minor parties are parties that have competed against the Democratics and Republicans for control of the government. No third party candidate has won a presidential election although some have won Senate or House of Representatives seats. Over time third party goals often become the goal of either the Democrats or Republicans.

Other Party Systems  Multi-party systems have 3 or more political parties competing for control of the gov’t. Often two parties will work together to gain a majority of the vote to win.  -One-Party Systems-only one political party exists so there is no competition or choice of candidates.

Roles of Political Parties  Nominating candidates (open & closed primaries, direct primaries)  Campaigning-raise money, inform public of their stand on issues  Informing citizens  Carrying the people’s message  Operate government-appoint high level jobs  Link different levels of government-national, state, local  Watchdog-make sure government works the way it should
