Third party systems have a difficult time competing against the Democratic and Republican parties for multiple reasons.

1) Lack of funds- Running political campaigns is extremely expensive. On a yearly basis, the Democratic and Republican party spend millions of dollars to help their candidates win office. Third parties have a difficult time raising this type of money.

2) History- The modern day Republican and Democratic parties have been around for roughly a century. People are familiar with their view, understand their platform, and are familiar with important individuals within the party. A third party usually struggles with these factors, as their new emergence comes at a time when a significant amount of Americans are already aligned with a specific party.

1) What do you see as the most important requests in the Olive Branch Petition?

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

1. The most important requests include;

a. The repeal of the statutes and regulations imposed by the King on the colonists.

b. The request for peace between the King and the Subjects so as to avoid the outbreak of war.

2. The British American Colonists are seeking peaceful independence from the King's rule.

3. They speak respectfully of the King and the Parliament asserting their loyalty to his rule.

4. They seem to blame the King. This is because of his imposition of exorbitant taxes and levies ensuing from the Stamp Act on the people.

5. I would have considered their request for peace by inviting them to a meeting where their grievances would be discussed.

Explanation:

The Olive Branch Petition written by John Dickinson was drafted at a time when the colonists were seeking independence from the King. This was as a result of the sufferings they were made to undergo, stemming from the high taxes imposed on them to compensate the dwindling resources spent by the King in the war with France. They clearly wanted independence but without the consequence of war. They also were asserting loyalty to the King. This seemed like two requests that could be hardly granted at the same time.

King George III did not read the letters not to talk of granting the request for he already declared war on the colonists prior to the time when they tendered the letters.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The most recent attempt to re-energize the free trade movement in Africa occurred in early 2001, when Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, member states of the East African Community (EAC), committed themselves to relaunching their bloc, 24 years after it collapsed. These countries have 80 million inhabitants and intend to establish a customs union, regional court, legislative assembly, and eventually a political federation. Includes cooperation on immigration, road and telecommunications networks, investment, and capital markets. East African Community was originally founded in 1967, dissolved in 1977, and revived with the Treaty for the Establishment of the East African Community signed in 1999 by Kenya, Uganda and United Republic of Tanzania. Burundi and Rwanda became members in 2007 while South Sudan gained accession in April 2016.
