... In modern times, political systems have had either a one or a multiparty system. While both of these systems have their advantages and disadvantages, it is important to understand why each society uses the system they do.
First, one must understand what a political party is. A political party can be defined as an organization that puts forward proposed leaders whom they support for official positions in government (Grigsby 190). Does this mean that all a political party does is get officials elected? ... The party then can take this view point and try to change their societys laws and moral codes to reflect these view points. ... Technically, America can be considered a multiparty system, but in reality, it is a two-party system. Our party system actually started before the Revolutionary War in the formation of the Federalist and the Anti-Federalist with one group trying to ratify the Constitution and the other group opposing it (Chambers 4). Since then, there has always been two dominate parties in the American democratic system, although there is the ability for third party formation. ...
