The two–party system is an enduring part of U.S. politics. Even before the ratification of the Constitution in 1789 the founders themselves were split into two separate camps. Since then American politics have gone through different parties, but there were never more than two major political parties. There is trouble in paradise though. Modern discontent with "Washington insiders" have led many to consider seeking those unaffiliated with one of the major parties. While the two–party system has endured thanks in part due to a coalition makeup, electoral accountability, and organizational strength there is a strong desire for an alternative for the current parties with barriers in place inhibiting the emergence of a third party.

David R. Jones, University of New York, identifies the model of voter decision–making that helps to keep these coalitions accountable to the people. Typically voters will tend to focus less on the actions of the particular candidate and more upon the party actions while voting for a candidate. The two party model that voters use is broken down into three basic parts. The first is party performance, what have they accomplished while holding power. The second relates to policy stances. The policy stance is easily verified based on comments made by candidates or actions taken while in office. The final piece of information a voter may use is based on how the majority or minority conducts itself during the actual running of government (Jones, 2014). If the minority forces an impasse, or even assists the majority in passing legislation, this can greatly impact a voters' voting process. These three factors are used to weigh one party against another. While the current majority in Congress may not have the greatest showing on the legislative side, a voter may still decide that based on recent conduct of the minority the majority is preferable. How a party presents itself to the public is a direct reflection of its organizational

Republican Party Typology
The American political system is always susceptible to change. In recent decades, the United States has experienced an increase in political polarization between the two parties. These extreme views resonate with the Americans that sit at the tips of the ideological spectrum, but the majority of people have more moderate ideologies. Most fall in between the two extremes, holding different combinations of social and economic values that make it difficult to place each person on the traditional linear spectrum. To further analyze voters, a political typology of the United States can be conducted, which further sorts voters into more connected groups based on their attitudes and values. This data has proven to be crucial for political parties when determining what policies to include in their platform, because recent general elections have revealed that the undecided vote plays a large role in determining the winner. In order to maximize the amount of voters the Republican Party receives in the general election, the party must incorporate values and policies in their platform that attracts the maximum amount of moderate voters, without drifting too far away from traditional Republican values to ensure the retention of the constituency. This can be achieved by adopting new policies on abortion, alternative energy, unauthorized immigrants, and In order to properly analyze the data collected by a typology, one must first understand how each of the different groupings is composed.

We the people. The three words that make up the political system of Democracy that has existed since the days of ancient Greece. When applied to the United States of America, two forms of Democracy are presented that clash together in their principles. This is of course, Elite Democracy and Popular Democracy. Through the analysis of the process of the Electoral College, the actions of politically charged people, and various reforms throughout history, we can see how Popular Democracy pales in comparison to the superior philosophy of Elite Democracy. Before we start looking at these subjects, we will build an extended definition around both systems to lay a foundation of each one's beliefs.
Defining Popular and Elite Democracy
The debate surrounding both Popular Democracy and Elite Democracy is interesting because they are essentially two sides of the same coin. Popular Democracy is centered around the ideology of "The People's Rule". This ideology refers to the belief that citizens should be involved as much as possible when the government makes decisions that affect their lives. On the other hand, Elite Democracy's viewpoint is based around the idea of people voting for elected officials that rule as they see fit (Miroff 12). These two different outlooks displayed by both Popular and Elite Democracy were formed through six primary debates in which they differ. Elite and Popular Democracy can be condensed into six central points: Trust in the people, Human nature,

The Political System Of Democracy Essay
History and culture of many nations and societies have been affected by political systems. In the 1600s–1700s two political systems, absolute monarchy of France and the constitutional monarchy of England, have affected Europe. Absolute monarchy is when a ruler rules with absolute, or total, power. Aconstitutional monarchy is when laws limit the power of the monarch so they cannot rule absolutely. These two political systems affected not only their own country, but the whole of Europe as well. Mainly under the influences of the two leaders Louis XIV, Charles II, James II, Prince William, and Queen Mary.
One of the most known rulers that ruled with absolute power in France was Louis XIV. Louis ruled for many years and was considered...show more content...
Jean Baptiste Colbert, the minister of finance, helped Louis the most in achieving these goals. He expanded manufacturing, placed high tariffs on imported goods, encouraged people to move to colonies, and supported mercantilism. After Colbert's death, Louis created a policy which slowed down France's economic progress. He also cancelled the Edict of Nantes, which protected the religious freedom of Huguenots. When Louis got rid of the Edict of Nantes, it caused many Huguenot artisans and business people to flee the country, leaving France without many skilled workers.Another thing that Louis did was build the palace of Versailles, a huge palace that stretched for 500 yards. Louis also forced his country to fight several wars, considering France had an army other countries could not even match. The other countries were eventually able to join forces and match France's strength, in which Louis began to impose more taxes to pay for army finances. When Louis eventually died, he left behind a legacy yet he also left behind many debts and a ruined France. Although France was now a power to be reckoned with, the debts and bad harvests had an affect on the people and they had resentment because of the royal abuse they took.
One could define a constitutional (limited) monarchy as a rule when the King or Queen's power was limited by law, document, and legislature. One could also characterize a limited monarchy as when the King or Queen have

The effectiveness of these two factors has seen China rise to be a successful superpower despite lingering problems. In analyzing these economic systems it becomes important to understand the way in which they may affect economic development. The rise of China as previously stated has led to the consideration that perhaps the authoritarian rule is more liable to allow for economic development. The communist system is more suitable in terms of how it operates on a system of meritocracy.

The United States Political System
The United States political system is dominated by an intense battle for power. Those who have control, have the ability to influence the way our nation is operated. While every citizen has the opportunity to impact politics, some citizens and groups are at a disadvantage. In America, we struggle to ensure that every individual has a chance to equally participate in the political process. Although anyone can run for political office in the United States, the cost of a campaign is expensive. Throughout their campaign, candidates spend money on research, ads, speaking engagements, and other activities to promote their name and policy to the public. The average amount of money spent in 2012 on a candidate elected to the House of Representatives was just under 1.6 million dollars (The Center for Responsive Politics (CRP), Row 1). In the senate, the candidate who won the 2012 election spent on average 11.5 million dollars (CRP, Row 1). Even being elected to a position in a state legislature comes at a cost. In the 2010 election, the average candidate running for a seat in a state's House of Representatives spent 56,142 dollars (Casey et al., 2001). The cost of a political campaign jeopardizes the ability of candidates with limited funding to competitively contend in elections. The U.S. Census Bureau reported in 2010 that the annual median income in America was 52,646 dollars (DeNavas–Walt & Proctor, 23).

Every country differs in their preference of political system to govern their countries. For democratic countries, two possible choices of governing are the presidential system and the parliamentary system. Since both the presidential and the parliamentary systems have their own strengths and weaknesses, many scholars have examined these two forms of government, and debate on which political system is more successful in governance. In this paper, I will first provide a detailed analysis of both the parliamentary and the presidential system.

Advocates of the parliamentary form of government suggested a few competitive strengths of this system of government. Since it has gained a stable parliamentary majority, the government is able to smoothly process its legislative project. In addition, the government is adequately furnished that it could still choose to adopt measures designed to support the national interests while many strong sectional groups oppose such measures (Dyck, 2012). The prime minister is the leader of this type of government, who is obliged to be responsive to all its people's demands. Also, the people have the right to vote and replace the prime minister due to any incompetency of governance that does not address and fulfill their desires. This is known as the non–confidence vote; the government may be removed when it has lost confidence in the parliament, and cause the head of state to resign a new government (Dyck, 2012). An example of such measure occurred in Britain on March 28th, 1979. When James Callaghan's labour government was defeated in the House of Commons just by one vote, it was forced into an early election that was won by the opposition leader Margaret Thatcher (Dyck, 2012). In this case, it can avoid or at least reduce the period of legislative gridlock, because of its flexibility in elections and the power is centered in the country's prime

Spain's economy is a well–based way to equally spread money to all of the people. Some of Spain's natural resources include coal, lignite, iron ore, uranium, mercury, pyrites, fluorspar, gypsum, zinc, lead, tungsten, copper, kaolin; hydroelectric power. Spain's currency is theEuropean Union euro. Spain's imports include machinery and equipment, fuels, chemicals, semi–finished goods, foodstuffs, consumer goods, measuring and medical control instruments. In 2011, the amount of money that Spain received for imports was $364.9 billion. Some of Spain's exports include machinery, motor vehicles; foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals, medicines, other consumer goods. In 2011, the amount of money that Spain received for exports was $309.6 billion.
The gross domestic per capita is thirty three thousand six hundred euros a year. In labor force 2.4 percent goes to agriculture, 24 percent to industry, and 71.1 percent to services. Spain came out in the number one position because it is a sunny country, because its citizens enjoy shorter working hours and more days holiday, because energy and lifestyle costs are lower, because the government invests into education and healthcare, because the average age at which people die is higher than in most of Europe and because overall, living in Spain ensures you have a better quality of life.

The leaders of the Federalists were Alexander Hamilton and John Adams. Both were from the Northeast where the Federalist line of thinking was strongest.

The party of Jackson is today's Democratic Party. By the election of 1836 the National Republicans and other anti–Jacksonians had merged to form a new party, the Whigs. They lost to the Democrats that year, but in 1840 they succeeded in getting William Henry Harrison elected President. In 1844 the Whig candidate, Henry Clay, lost to James Polk, but in the next election Zachary Taylor won for the Whigs. This seemed to be a time of uncertainty in political direction. While this uncertainty was taking place, a social force greater than party loyalty was beginning to reshape American politics. The slavery issue, with the passions it aroused in the North and the South, gradually compelled a realignment of parties. The Whigs party began to split in 1852. This was a result of the deep split in opinion over slavery. During the next few years most Southern Whigs joined the Democrats. Northern Whigs joined northern antislavery Democrats. In 1854 groups of northern men against slavery urged the creation of a new political party opposed to the continuation of slavery. This party has become today's Republicans. During 1854 to1860, the slavery issue became such a hot topic that even Democrats were becoming divided among themselves. In 1860 four candidates ran for the presidency. Brekenridge was the Southern Democrats candidate, Douglas was the Northern Democrats candidate,

An Organization As A Political System
The metaphor of an organization as a political system is a good way to dispel the myth of organizations' rationality (Morgan 2006). The organization as a complex political system involves many levels of interactions, interpersonal relationships and diverse integrated processes meant to help achieve the goals and objectives of the organization. What the organization is about and how successful and effective it is depends on many factors. First of all – the distribution of power and authority . In addition, for a better understanding of organizational processes, it is important to take into account the fact that the power comes from a variety of sources, not just from formal power. Besides the formal authority power comes from the control of scarce resources, control of decision process, control of knowledge and information etc. (Morgan 2006). Thus every organization has powerful people on different level that influence the way of the organization's development. Distribution of power is significant part of organizational management. The way of its arrangement influences efficiency of the organization and employees' loyalty. When all authority is concentrated on the top, like it often happens in the organizations with classic machine like type of management, it leaves lack of freedom and choice to the line level employees. I have an experience of work in the organization with matrix structure. The power distribution was set up the way, that nobody had an absolute authority.

The political systems in the United States of America, and the United Kingdom are fairly different due to several policies. The most predominant difference that could be deducted from their policies is the difference in selecting their government. The United States base their elections off of what is known as the Electoral College. The Electoral College is a process that was created by the founding fathers, written in the Constitution. Not only is it a compromise made between the election of the President by a vote in Congress, but also the election of the President due to popular vote of eligible citizens. In total, there are 538 electors that make up the Electoral College. However, for the President to be elected there is a required majority of 270 electoral votes that need to be won. If you obtain the most votes within a state, then you will win the seats of that state that help the potential President to get 270 electoral votes. The way in which the number of seats in each state is decided is through Congressional delegation; there is one for each member of the House of Representatives, and two others for the Senators. The Electoral College is particularly interesting due to the reason that even if you win the popular vote, you may not necessarily be elected as President. The most recent example of this is the 2016 presidential election between democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, and republican Donald Trump. Clinton did in fact receive more votes than Trump; however, Get

In contrast to this, the French model has changed dramatically on several occasions, and can rarely have been described as stable.

The House of Commons, on the other hand, is a democratically elected chamber. TheHouse of Lords and the House of Commons meet in separate chambers in the Palace of Westminster (the Houses ofParliament), in central London. The British Parliament is often called the "Mother of Parliaments," as the legislative bodies of many nationsВ most notably, those of the members of the CommonwealthВ are modelled on it. However, it is a misquotation of John Bright, who had actually remarked on 18 January 1865 that "England is the Mother of Parliaments", in the context of supporting demands for expanded voting rights in a country which had pioneered Parliamentary government. The differences between the constituent members of the UK are interesting, England, despite being the most developed, populous and richest member, is the only one without its own devolved government.

Democratic Political Systems
Democracy is typically known as a type of government that is ruled by the people. Active public participation in political matters, free and fair elections, equality, and protection of basic human rights are at the core of democratic political systems. Individual citizens, organized groups and institutions, elected officials and governmental bureaucracies all contribute to the democratic nature of these political systems, but the main power resides with the people. There are generally two types of democracies: direct and representative. Both types of democratic systems have their own unique strengths and weaknesses but the intended purpose for both is to protect the public and their interests. In addition to protecting public interest, democracies help prevent the monopoly of authority, but the overall strength of a democratic political system lies with politically and socially educated citizens.
Protecting Public Interests The underlying principle of a democratic political system is that it is governed by the people. In that context, the strength of democratic political system lies in protecting the public's interests regarding political, social, and economic issues. Three ways this protection can be accomplished by public participation through voting, civil societies, and elected representation. Voting

The Royal Assent turns a Bill into an Act of Parliament, allowing it to become law in the UK. Although, the Queen has right to encourage and warn his ministers in regular meetings with the Prime Minister, her role in adopting legislation is purely formal.
Furthermore, it is unlikely that the Queen would refuse to accept the bills supported and adopted within the European Union. However, it is possible in case of occurrence of a constitutional crisis. If we think about the example, that the Lords would reject the European Union treaty due to remarkable reasons and the government would push it through regardless, then the Queen might refuse to consent. In this particular moment, the Queen due to her position in Parliament could intervene and refuse to give royal assent.

The state government was protected under the Articles of Confederation and had the ultimate governing authority. 2"The government of the Articles was a union of states rather than also of people. The result was a weak national government, since its strength depended entirely of the states' willingness to cooperate (p 61)." If the states refused to pay the national government could not do anything to get the money. The final result of non–payment from the states was a weaker national defense. The states wanted to retain their sovereignty and argued that the national government would not be able serve the people as well as the union of states. Under the new governing system known as federalism the state government would have the responsibilities of the chartering of local governments, education, public safety, registration and voting, intrastate commerce.

The revolutionary movement and its mass struggles will eventually develop and transform into its sharpest form – the armed struggle – to make the decisive action of seizing political power from the hands of the bourgeoisie. II. PROCESS
The whole process of developing and strengthening the revolutionary movement and mass struggles will be long and tedious–it is sure to undergo swerves, ebbs and flows. Maintaining and protecting the strengths and gains it has gathered in the course of its struggle should therefore be ensured in order to make use of it in advancing the struggle. The accumulation of strengths and gains is done with the conception of party units from the womb of organizations/associations /unions of workers and other sectors of society. Likewise, the formation of committees among the advanced elements and the rise of organizations that are basically socialist in orientation. III.

Our efforts in consolidating the strength we gather in the course of the development of the revolutionary movement and mass struggles should naturally lead to posing a direct challenge and destabilization of the power of the bourgeois reactionary state.
