Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1, Describe what is involved in organizing the district, namely, convincing a group's members in a state or district to put pressure on their members of Congress and contacting important opinion leaders and campaign contributors in the district.
2, Explain that this strategy is effective because members of Congress are attuned to individuals and groups in their states or districts who can affect their reelection prospects.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Describe how the two-party system stymies the inclusion of minor parties into government, specifically noting that minor parties do have some effect on the main parties by changing the focus of pre-election policy.
2, Explain the controversy over the way that minor parties can alter the outcome of an election and thereby detract from the democratic process by circumventing the election of a potentially more popular candidate.
