Answer to Question 1

E

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response would be:
A one-party state is one in which one party wins all or nearly all the offices, and the second party usually receives only one-third or less of the popular vote. In such a state, party imbalance may have a serious effect on the accountability that is part of electoral competition. Voters do not participate as much as they do in two-party contests, and voters who do cannot rely on party labels to help them differentiate between candidates. Competition that otherwise would occur betweenthe major parties occurs among factions within the majority party. The most important contests in some states such as Rhode Island are generally not between Democrats and Republicans but among Democrats in the primary; the same is true for Republicans in Utah. In these intraparty fights, personalities dominate the campaign.
