Answer to Question 1

Answer: An ideal response will:
1. Define the winner-take-all primary as a state primary election in which the candidate who wins the most votes secures all of that state's delegates to the convention.
2. Explain how this form of primary enables a candidate to quickly amass the required majority of delegates, avoiding divisive primary battles. This form of primary is considerably less representative, however.
3. Note that the Republican Party favors this form of primary while the Democratic Party no longer permits it.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: An ideal response will:
1. Explain that reapportionment is the process of reallocating representation in the House of Representatives based on population shifts revealed by the most recent census.
2. Note that the Constitution mandates that the seats be reapportioned every ten years, although states can do them more frequently if they wish.
3. Explain that this affects presidential politics because some states gain or lose seats in the House, while others win them.
4. Note that this also affects how many electors represent each state in the Electoral College.
