The Two Party System in American History The Era of the Democrats Lincoln! (Rep.) The Era of the Republicans FDR! (Dem.) The Era of the Democrats 1968-today? The Era of divided government

Minor Parties in the U.S. 1.Ideological parties- follow a certain set of beliefs, longest lasting minor party (socialists) 2.Single-issue parties- concentrate on a single public policy matter (Right to Life Party) 3.Economic protest parties- protest in times of economic hardship, usually have solution or blame (Greenback Party) 4.Splinter parties- split away from one of the major parties, formed around some strong personality (Bull Moose Party)

The Key Role of Minor Parties 1.Critic- bring issues to the forefront of the country by pointing them out first (abortion) 2.Innovator- first to do something (national convention) 3.Spoiler- can’t win, but can decide, the presidential election (Perot 1992)
