Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Provide an outline of the various phases of political party development and any realignment that accompanied them.
2, Describe various coalition shifts and the events that precipitated party formations. (For example, students' answers might discuss the change in Republican coalition support between Lincoln and the New Deal or changes in the New Deal coalition over time.
3, Recall how the Framers warned of the dangers that parties presented and how parties soon developed despite this warning.
4, Provide a concise and effective conclusion.
