From the Paper
"There are also some institutional factors, which limit the influence of party affiliation by members of Congress. The President and other party leaders may assist Congressmen in their election, but ultimately members are responsible to their constituents first. They may follow an ideological group or a bi-partisan coalition on an issue if it is what their voters want.
"In recent years there has been a growth in earmarks, the funding of specific projects often targeted to a specific Congressman's district. If distributed by the party these can increase discipline and be used as a way of rewarding loyalty. Also a popular president or former president might campaign on behalf of party loyalists, helping out at re-election time."

From the Paper
"Every generation in American history has maintained political characteristics that distinguish it from other eras. Indeed, in light of the terrorist events at the start of this century, contemporary society will likely be remembered as a fiercely patriotic generation that generally supported its President even if there were issues that might have otherwise caused division. Likewise, the Populist Party was a political party that took a prominent part in United States politics during the 1890's. The party resulted from a variety of unsolved abuses, especially the continuing decline in prices of such crops as wheat and cotton. Several small groups of people seeking reforms united to form the party."

Abstract
The paper identifies the two major political parties in the US: Democrats and Republicans. The paper states that the two-party system gives a sense of control and stability to the nation during times of change and that it is a natural result of the United State's election process, a result of parties consolidating to prevent vote splitting. The paper also explains that in this system helps keep a single party from gaining too much power and overwhelming the government. The paper concludes that the two-party system is good for the United States, despite objections to its weaknesses, as it provides stability, a proper medium for a majority's ideas, and an avenue for stable change.
From the Paper
"The Federalists stood for a stronger central government, and supported removing the rights from the states and returning it to the federal government. Jefferson's Democratic-Republicans supported states' rights. However, though Jefferson believed in the power of the people to lead themselves he still understood the need for a Constitution, so his Democratic-Republican Party did share some traits with the Federalists. These two parties, different in some ways and similar in others, were the original two "major" parties, and offer up the first example of a two-party system in American politics. The important fact was that this happened in a time when the people of the United States were concerned about whether to have a strong, central government like the British they had just won their independence from, or to remain a confederacy of states, relying on each other only because of geographical convenience. This was such a strong issue because many people did not want to have anything to do with the British, and thus the thought of a strong federal government scared them."

"The United States was once under British rule and in fact the American Revolution was fought for the purpose of removing the U.S. Colonies from the rule of the British. The American Revolution was fought and independence was won establishing America as an independent and separate nation from Great Britain but only after a grueling war. Great Britain was determined to keep the Colonies under British rule and after an attack on Charleston and lives having been lost the colonists stated their intentions in a document entitled "Declaration of the Causes and Necessities to Take up Arms" and the action to break away from what most considered to be their mother country began. It has been stated in history that most of the colonists identified with the British and that many of the colonists considered themselves to be Britons."

Abstract
The author notes that the divisive issue of slavery and the passion in the South for state's rights presented the two major parties with challenges they proved unable to overcome and led to the breakdown of the two-party system, which became the principle cause of the Civil War. The breakdown of the two-party system was a slow development, but it was accelerated during the last decade before the Civil War by the weakness of the Whigs and the emergence of the new Republican Party in the North.

Abstract
This paper explains that the successes in elections by third-party candidates are blocked by little media coverage, often not being in debates, reduced funding, a lack followers, and the electoral system. The author points out that third-party candidates can overcome a number of these obstacles by focusing on a single ideology or issue and by using inexpensive campaign techniques like debates, forums, and billboard advertising. The paper remarks that, while there are important exceptions, such as Governor Jesse Ventura of Minnesota, the majority of third-party candidates fail to be elected.
From the Paper
"The electoral system itself often contributes to making the election of third-party candidates difficult. Many laws that relate to elections limit the success of third-party candidates. America's "winner-take-all system of counting ballots ... does little to encourage a party that perpetually comes in third or fourth place to repeatedly contest elections, whereas proportional representation systems, which are widely used in other industrialized democracies, do." Further, many states have ballot access requirements that state that candidates must have a specific number of signatures to run for office."

Abstract
This paper wonders if, given the similarity of all the candidates for U.S. President in both parties, it is time for a third party candidate who has an actual chance of winning rather than just splitting the votes so another candidate can win. The author presents arguments in favor of a major third party including that the parliamentary approach to government in other countries is superior to the two party system in the United States. The paper concludes that a viable third party is impossible not because of the high costs and media support critical in an election but because of the problem of the mindset of the voters who see a third party as only speaking for a niche group.
From the Paper
"Second, does America represent a democracy when only two parties are running, and these individuals are chosen by a select few? When anyone else who wants to run does not have a chance of being heard unless he/she has millions of dollars (or backing of well-to-do-supporters) and the media? And when anyone who desires to hold a high position has to have been around long enough to have shared political favors with a number of prominent individuals?"

The first meeting of the Republican Party took place in Wisconsin and the members believed that the government should give land grants to those settling in the west (Republican Party http://www.mcgop.net/History.htm)."
"Once the party became official a formal meeting was help in 1854 in Michigan at which time the name Republican was adopted. The name was chosen because the members believed that it mean equality (Republican Party http://www.mcgop.net/History.htm)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the United Nation's need to change or risk being a useless organization. It looks at how the basic philosophy of the United Nations is anti-American and how the United Nations is biased toward the countries that are anti-communist. In addition, the link between rogue states, terrorism, and terrorist leaders with the United Nations is discussed, showing that the United Nations supports terrorists in some ways. The fact that the United Nations has failed to prevent and has provoked more than one hundred wars throughout the world since its inception is also shown in the report. This report also looks at the United Nations charter and how it misleads one to believe that it is advocating peace when, in fact, it is a blueprint for war. A final subject examined by this report is the different actions that can be taken to improve the idea of the United Nations, as well as the organization as a whole.

"Here is a trivia question. Are the following events promoting peace and freedom? The year is 1961 in Belgium?s former colony in Africa known as the Belgian Congo. Belgium had granted independence to its colony. A Moscow-trained communist named Patrice Lumumba Gained control of the newly formed government. Lumumba and his communist allies immediately began a brutal consolidation of power. In response, Moise Tshombe, the pro-Western, anti-communist black leader of the Congo?s province of Katanga, seceded and declared his region an independent nation."
