Why has political competition consistently been dominated by two major parties? -the winner-take-all structure of our Presidential elections (Electoral College) -the narrow focus of minor 3 rd parties (whose issues often are absorbed by the major parties)

Role of 3 rd Parties To provide another choice To force the major parties to address certain issues Free-Soil Party Goal: Stop the extension of slavery Why did the party disappear? The Republicans adopted their stance on anti-slavery
