Answer to Question 2

The ideal answer should:
a. Describe the McGovernFraser reforms as a series of reforms intended to democratize the nomination process for both political parties in light of the drama and disarray of the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
b.Analyze how the recommendations led the Democratic Party to implement a series of reforms to increase the transparency of the process, raise the participation of underrepresented groups, and reduce the representation of state organizationsin the process.
c. Explain how the reforms affected both parties because they were implemented at the state level and how the specific reforms have varied across the states in the form of open and closed primaries, the caucus, the allocation of delegates, and the creation of superdelegates.
d.Assess the outcomes of the reforms in the context of the goals and evaluate whether the nomination process has become more democratic, providing examples such as the composition of the delegates tosupport a conclusion that the process is more democratic or the use of unpledged delegates and a winner-take-all system to support a conclusion that the process is less democratic.
