Why do third parties usually not last very long in the American two party system

History
1 answer:
harina [27]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Why did Athens have olive oil and wine to trade with other places?
geniusboy [140]

Athens is located in Greece, and Greece is a country that has a Mediterranean climate. The Mediterranean climate, as well as the soil type in Greece, is a natural place for the growth of olive trees and wine trees that produce fruits of high quality. Athens used this, and by making products from both of these trees, olive oil from the olive trees, and wine from the wine trees, they were making a lot of wealth because of this products were in high demand and not many places had the conditions for growing these trees and making products from them. Also Athens was very active in the sea trade and had contacts all over the Mediterranean, and that just opened up a larger market for their products.
