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.

What happened to American Indians as a result of the Spanish conquest of the Americas?
jenyasd209 [6]

On his first voyage, Columbus claimed San Salvador, Cuba and Hispaniola as Spanish possessions. He built a fort and left behind Spanish soldiers to hunt for gold on Hispaniola, while he returned to Spain. (These men were later murdered by the inhabitants of the island for mistreating them.) On his second voyage, Columbus took a thousand Spanish colonists to settle in Hispaniola. This was the first European colony in the ‘New World’. These colonists fought among themselves and with the inhabitants of the island. They were greedy and complained that there was not enough gold to make them all rich. They were given land and allowed to force the indigenous people to work for them, but they were still not satisfied. The colonists were also responsible forintroducing foreign epidemic diseases such as influenza, smallpox, measles and typhus, which drastically reduced the indigenous population in the Caribbean within 50 years.

Discuss th factors tht pushed man to domestication of animals
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Humans also deliberately bred dogs to be more adorable. Other pets came later. Sheep and goats were first domesticated roughly 11,000 years ago, while cats became pets around 7000 B.C. with the advent of agriculture. (As people collected and stored grain, it would attract mice, which would then attract cats.)

Select the correct answer.
cestrela7 [59]

The correct answer is B. She would learn better through projects or assignments where she worked alone.

Explanation:

Individualistic cultures reinforce independence and being self-reliant. This influences the behavior and beliefs of individuals in these cultures because they are more likely to act on their own and solve tasks/problems alone rather than working with others or being helped by others.

In this context, Rebecca's cultural background would make her prefer projects and assignments where she can work alone as individualistic cultures promote the idea people should be independent and rely on themselves.
