I want you to describe at least four structures of the American political system that have been responsible for maintaining two-

party dominance. Put another way, what are the obstacles that prevent third parties, outside of the Democrats and Republicans, from being successful at winning elections and capturing some political power in the U.S. government?

Third parties struggle to be heard. Third parties often are required to get thousands of signatures on a petition to simply get on a ballot. On the state and federal level, the government sets various election rules and standards. This control allows them to keep the 2 main parties (Democrat and Republican) in power and keep third parties out. Third parties have hurt them in the past and lost them major elections. Both parties have lost presidential elections in the past. Third parties face the great financial hardships of trying to match or beat the financial means of the 2 parties. Trying to raise the money to be heard on a national stage is near impossible when competing against these older more established parties. Often times, for any type of financial help the third party must meet a certain percentage of the vote to qualify, which they almost never do. Third parties also have to fight with the ideological differences that separate them from the other larger parties. How can they stand out apart from this larger group? They are often either too extreme or not extreme enough to separate themselves. Many times the third parties are often absorbed and lost in the 2 larger parties.

The Eastern Woodlands is a cultural area of the indigenous people of North America. The Eastern Woodlands extended roughly from the Atlantic Ocean to the eastern Great Plains, and from the Great Lakes region to the Gulf of Mexico, which is now occupied by the eastern United States and Canada.[1] The Plains Indians culture area is to the west; the Subarctic area to the north. The Indigenous people of the Eastern Woodlands spoke languages belonging to several language groups, including Algonquian,[2] Iroquoian,[2] Muskogean, and Siouan, as well as apparently isolated languages such as Calusa, Chitimacha, Natchez, Timucua, Tunica and Yuchi.
The earliest known inhabitants of the Eastern Woodlands were the Adena and Hopewell, who inhabited the Ohio and Mississippi river valleys between 800 BC and 800 AD.[3] These tribes, as well as the other Iroquoian-speaking people, were mound builders.[4] They also relied on farming to produce food because of the fertile land in the Ohio and Mississippi river valleys.[4] Because of this reliance on farming, these tribes did not migrate like the more northern Eastern Woodlands tribes and instead stayed in one place, which resulted in them developing new social and political structures.[5]
The Eastern Woodlands tribes located further north (Algonquian-speaking people) relied heavily on hunting to acquire food.[4] These tribes did not plant many crops, however, some tribes, such as the Ojibwe, grew wild rice and relied on it as one of their major food sources.[2] The type of animals these tribes hunted depended on the geographic location of the tribe.[5] For example, the tribes located close to the coast hunted seals, porpoises, and whales, while the more inland tribes hunted deer, moose, and caribou.[2][6] The meat was then either cooked to be eaten immediately or it was smoke-dried which preserved the meat for later consumption.[6]

How were the Reconstruction plans of President Abraham Lincoln and President Andrew Johnson similar?
algol [13]

Answer:

Both Lincoln's and Johnson's Reconstruction plans were lenient compared to the Radical Republicans plan. Lincoln wanted a quick reintegration of the Southern states reinstatement to Congress. Lincoln believed the South did not succeed or have actually left the Union. This was a legal position that would be born out in Texas vs. White 1869. Obviously they formed governments and made war on the Union.

The problem was Lincoln was assassinated and Johnson did not have Lincoln's political capital to fight the Radicals. They could never have challenged Lincoln with impeachment as they did Johnson.

Explanation:

Both Lincoln's and Johnson's Recreation plans were indulgent compared to the Radical Republicans arrange. Lincoln needed a fast reintegration of the Southern states restoration to Congress. Lincoln accepted the South did not succeed or have really cleared out the Union. This was a lawful position that would be born out in Texas vs. White 1869. Clearly they shaped governments and made war on the Union. The issue was Lincoln was killed and Johnson did not have Lincoln's political capital to battle the Radicals. They may never have challenged Lincoln with prosecution as they did Johnson.
