Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Describe realignment as a rare event in American politics often associated with a major national crisis. Critical elections, economic crisis, or war may be key precipitators.
2, Explain that major disagreements in policy result in a shift in coalition formation and, subsequently, one party takes over power from another, often lasting for decades. For example, the Republican Party emerged strongly from the Civil War, and the New Deal coalition became dominant following the Great Depression.
