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.
