Reasons for the Two-Party System Historical Basis Federalists vs. Anti-Federalists Force of Tradition “We’ve always had it!” Electoral System The way we elect offices tends to favor having only 2 parties American Ideological Consensus Americans tend to think the same way

Membership of the Parties Certain factors tend to influence your party membership: Race Religion Gender Age Education Class Income

Think of the following in creating your political party: What issues will your party members most care about? What factors will influence your members? Will you be more libertarian or authoritarian? Will you be more liberal or conservative?
