Why have the Democratic and Republican parties been so durable since the Civil War?

History
1 answer:
Kisachek [45]3 years ago
3 0

The United States is a typical example of a two-party system. The Democratic and the Republican parties have dominated politics since the Civil War. No third party has won a Presidential election or majorities in either house of Congress.

There are two main reasons for this situation. The first reason is the fact that these two dominant parties have expressed a position in almost all aspects of politics and society. Moreover, these views are often opposed to each other. This leaves little room for a third party to arise.

Another reason why these parties have been so durable is the fact that smaller parties often face a lot of obstacles when trying to compete with larger parties, such as denial of access to general election debates. This makes it difficult for them to be taken seriously and to spread their message, which also reduces the number of people that they can access.

Which of the following statements is true of both the Standard of Ur from the Royal Tombs at Ur and the Palette of King Narmer?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": They celebrate military victory.

Explanation:

The Standard of Ur comes from the ancient Egyptian city of Ur, from the Early Dynastic Period (2900-2350 BC). It includes mosaic-elaborated scenes of war (prisoners being presented to the king) and peace both portrayed on each side of the wooden box. It is believed that the Standard of UR was created more than 4600 years ago.

The Narmer Palette dates from the 31st century BC. It portraits the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt by King Narmer (3150-3100 BC).  The biggest picture of the palette shows Narmer holding a mace with one hand and with the other grabbing a prisoner's head who is about to be hit by the king.

Both ancient relics praise the <em>military victory </em>in battle.
