In this unit, you learned that the United States has had a two-party political system for much of its history. Although candidates from other parties sometimes win elections at the local level, most elections for state office and the presidency have been dominated in the modern era by candidates from either the Democratic Party or the Republican Party. Do you think this system is fair, or would the nation benefit from a political system in which candidates from other parties had better chances at winning? Do you think the United States would be better off if more political parties were represented at higher levels of government, such as in the House and the Senate? Explain your thinking.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think it is not unfair to have 2 parties, but I think people with differing views on each party should have another way to express their political opinions. I also think that the American public would benefit form more politcal parties in the house and the senate because they would bring more to the table. To elaborate on the statement above I think the legislative branch would be able to expand and tackle more issues that are affecting lots of americans by having multiple points of view form different polotical parties.
