Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1, Discuss splinter parties, or offshoots of a major party (e.g., Teddy Roosevelt's Progressives in 1912, Strom Thurmond's States' Righters in 1948, and George Wallace's American Independents in 1968), which claim that they did not get fair hearings from Republicans or Democrats.
2, Discuss third parties that are built around a specific cause.
3, Describe third parties that have formed around popular individuals with presidential aspirations (e.g., John Anderson in 1980 and Ross Perot in 1992 and 1996).
4, Assess whether third parties should play a larger role in electoral politics in the United States.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
