5 Two Party System The United States has what is known as a two-party system. What does that mean? This is a form of party system where two major political parties, more or less equal in strength and influence, dominate in elections at all levels. Did you know: Political parties are never mentioned in the Constitution.

6 Throughout History Throughout the history of the United States, there have been two main political parties. Remember the Federalists and Anti-Federalists?? Today we have the Republican Party and the Democratic Party Freedom to create new parties exists, but the majority of voters believe their votes will only count when used to select a candidate from one of the two major parties.

7 Two Party System Does that mean there are only two political parties? No, there are many political parties in the United States Big 3 Third parties: Constitution Party Green Party Libertarian Party Click each logo to view the respective party s platform on their website.

8 Role of Political Parties Political parties are composed of individuals who share similar ideas about government. Those within a party share similar views on: The role of government Foreign policy Taxes Military and defense The economy Healthcare And many other topics Note: sometimes people may share views of both parties on different issues

9 Party Animals? Democrats use a donkey as the symbol for their party. The donkey was first used as a symbol of the Democratic Party by Andrew Jackson. He had often been called a donkey, as they are known for being strong willed. Republicans use an elephant as the symbol for their party.
