Today’s theme: American Political Parties

Throughout the world, democracies govern nations through political parties that compete to represent the wishes of voters. Many countries go through elaborate coalition building efforts to create alliances that are strong enough to govern. The United States, however, has a long standing history of a two party system. Explore the reasons why political parties arose in the U.S., the issues that lead to the development of new political parties and why the two party system appears so entrenched in American politics with Active Minds.
