Answer to Question 1

Answer: b

Answer to Question 2

Answer: An ideal response will:
1. Explain the concept of the responsible party model.
2. Link the responsible party model to functions of parties, including organizing and managing government, mediating the effects of separation of powers, providing accountability, and setting the policy agenda.
3. Discuss reasons that Texas does not look like a responsible party model, including the decentralization of parties, the nature of party coalitions, the American antiparty tradition, and individualism and identification as independents.
