Describe the role of political parties in the two-party system.

History
1 answer:
Maslowich4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The two-party system came into being because the structure of U.S. elections, with one seat tied to a geographic district, tends to lead to dominance by two major political parties. Even when there are other options on the ballot, most voters understand that minor parties have no real chance of winning even a single office. Hence, they vote for candidates of the two major parties in order to support a potential winner. Of the 535 members of the House and Senate, only a handful identify as something other than Republican or Democrat. Third parties have fared no better in presidential elections. No third-party candidate has ever won the presidency. Some historians or political scientists might consider Abraham Lincoln to have been such a candidate, but in 1860, the Republicans were a major party that had subsumed members of earlier parties, such as the Whig Party, and they were the only major party other than the Democratic Party.

madreJ [45]

Answer: The Great Purge

Explanation:

The Great Purge was a period of massive political repression in the Soviet Union during the reign of Joseph Stalin. The term is most commonly used to describe 1937-1938, when millions were killed or imprisoned as part of a conspiracy designed by Stalin and his inner circle.

It is generally agreed upon by historiographers that Stalin was responsible for the Holodomor, also known as the Great Famine, which occurred in the Soviet Union from 1932 to 1933. The Holodomor was a man-made drought that resulted in the death of millions of people.

The origins of the Stalin Terror can be traced back to Stalin's attempts to consolidate power following his rise to power in 1928. Stalin's critics were punished and their families were persecuted. This led to the rise of the secret police, which was responsible for carrying out the Stalin Terror.

The consequences of Stalin's rule were catastrophic. His policies destroyed the Soviet economy and led to the loss of millions of lives. Stalin's rule also led to the persecution and execution of millions of Soviet citizens.

Which answer Choice describes a moment of situational irony and Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass?
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

B) Captain Auld sends Douglas to Baltimore so Douglas will be more profitable but in doing so places Douglas in a position where Escape is attainable.

Explanation:

Situational irony is one form of irony where what is expected is different from what happens. That means, the expected result and the outcome contradict with each other.

In his memoir "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas", Douglas narrates his life of being a slave and then attaining his freedom after escaping. And one instance of situational irony is from Chapter X when he and his friends were caught planning their escape. But despite being captured, Thomas Auld sent Douglas to Baltimore instead of Alabama. In working in the shipyard, he rediscovered the zeal to attain his freedom. And getting back to Baltimore allows him better access to attain his freedom.

Thus, the <u>correct answer is option B.</u>
