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.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
