Answer to Question 1

Answer: An ideal response will:
1. Define an open primary as a primary in which registered independents, and occasionally members from other parties, can join the registered party members and participate in the selection process.
2. Define a closed primary as a primary that is restricted to registered members of the party.
3. Make an argument for which system is better.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: An ideal response will:
1. Explain that the caucus is a closed meeting of party activists who meet to select the party's nominee for president.
2. Discuss how caucuses help voters make well-informed decisions because of the amount of information available, but how they can exclude voters because of the large time commitment involved.
