  • Theoretical Perspectives on Party Polarization in America
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-19592-9 — Party Polarization in America B. Dan Wood , Soren Jordan Index More Information 1 Theoretical Perspectives on Party Polarization in America On February 28, 2012, Senator Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) announced her decision to retire after eighteen years in the U.S. Senate. Explaining her deci- sion, she said, I have spoken on the floor of the Senate for years about the dysfunction and political polarization in the institution. Simply put, the Senate is not living up to what the Founding Fathers envisioned ... During the Federal Convention of 1787, James Madison wrote in his Notes of Debates that “the use of the Senate is to consist in its proceedings with more coolness, with more system, and with more wisdom, than the popular branch.” ... Yet more than 200 years later, the greatest deliberative body in history is not living up to its billing ...everyone simply votes with their party and those in charge employ every possible tactic to block the other side. But that is not what America is all about, and it’s not what the Founders intended. (Madison 1787, June 7; Snowe 2012) Senator Snowe was not alone in her frustration with the polarization and dysfunction of the U.S. Congress. In the 2010 and 2012 election cycles, twenty-five senators and sixty-five House members either retired or resigned (Chamberlain 2012), with another seven senators and forty-one House members retiring in 2014 (Ballotpedia 2016). Many of these incumbents expressed sentiment similar to Senator Snowe’s. Referring to the poisonous nature of politics in Washington, Representative Steve Latourette (R-Ohio) stated, “I have reached the conclusion that the atmosphere today and the reality that exists in the House of Representatives no longer encourages the finding of common ground.” LaTourette told reporters that to rise in party ranks, politicians must now hand over “your wallet and your voting card” to party extremes, and he was uninterested (Helderman 2012).

PREFACE As things now stand, the course of instruction in American history in our public schools embraces three distinct treatments of the subject. Three separate books are used. First, there is the primary book, which is usually a very condensed narrative with emphasis on biographies and anecdotes. Second, there is the advanced text for the seventh or eighth grade, generally speaking, an expansion of the elementary book by the addition of forty or fifty thousand words. Finally, there is the high school manual. This, too, ordinarily follows the beaten path, giving fuller accounts of the same events and characters.

  • Political Parties and Interest Groups
    Joe Sohm/Visions of America / Getty Images distribute 7 or POLITICAL PARTIES AND INTEREST GROUPS post, After reading this chapter, you should be able to do the following: •• Definepolitical party and identify key players, how they function in the party, and how a political party is distinct from an interest group. •• Examine the history of political party development in the United States and explore the two waves of political reform that weakened party organization. •• Describe how American parties copy,are organized and the impact of party structure on political processes in the United States. •• Understand the causes and effects of a two-party system. •• Define responsible party government and explain why parties in the United States have been successful or unsuccessful in fulfilling this governing doctrine.not •• Defineinterest groups and understand the role each type of group plays in American politics. •• Describe the issues that affect how accurately and equally interest groups represent the concerns of all segments of American society.Do Perspective: How Centralized Can Political Parties Be? The American humorist Will Rogers once quipped, “I am not a member of an organized party. I am a Democrat.” Democratic and Republican Parties in the United States are loosely organized, evolving political groups that have no formal enrollment or membership process; those who wish to work for the party can just show up. Most importantly, no one person or office controls the entire organization. Chuck Schumer is the leader of Democrats in the United States Copyright ©2021 by SAGE Publications, Inc.

To some extent this is both wise and necessary; but in following it in this instance the attempt has been made to treat the colonial period as the childhood of the United States; to have it bear the same relation to our later career that the account of the youth of a great man should bear to that of his maturer years, and to confine it to the narration of such events as are really necessary to a correct understanding of what has happened since 1776. The story, therefore, has been restricted to the discoveries, explorations, and settlements within the United States by the English, French, Spaniards, and Dutch; to the expulsion of the French by the English; to the planting of the thirteen colonies on the Atlantic seaboard; to the origin and progress of the quarrel which ended with the rise of thirteen sovereign free and independent states, and to the growth of such political institutions as began in colonial times.

  • Political History of Nevada
    Political History of Nevada Chapter 9 Election Results 449 CHAPTER 9: ELECTION RESULTS State Elections Election Results Over the course of Nevada’s history, the State has remained fairly balanced in its political leanings. In 39 presidential campaigns, the Republican candidate won the State 21 times, the Democrat nominee 17 times, and the Populist Party contender once. In 31 of those presidential races, Nevada backed the eventual winner. Of 25 U.S. Senators to serve Nevada in Washington, D.C., 12 have been Democrats and 13 Republicans, with 2 of those Republican Senators also being elected as a member of the Silver Party as well. Nevada has been represented by 38 Congressmen or Congresswomen, 20 Republicans, 18 Democrats, 3 of which may have run as a member of the Silver-Democrat Party. Th irty men have held the position of Governor in Nevada: 14 Republicans, 11 Democrats, and 2 each from the Silver and Silver-Democrat parties (NOTE: James W. Nye served as acting Governor of Nevada without party affi liation before the State’s fi rst election in 1864). Primary Elections in Nevada Th e ‘‘direct primary system,’’ as adopted by the Legislature of 1909 (Chapter 294, Nevada Revised Statutes), is a method of selecting party candidates by direct action of the voters. Th e system does not aff ect independent candidates who, as always, may enter the elections by petition. Primary elections are held on the fi rst Tuesday in September prior to the general elections. Th e returns on all State primaries to date are listed before the results of general elections.
