Answer to Question 2

Answer:
An ideal response will:
1. Consider the article Compared to What? The Parliamentary System to compare and contrast the parliamentary and presidential systems, highlighting a propensity for expedited passage of legislation in a parliament at the cost of direct public vote of the prime minister.
2. Argue based on specific examples as to whether the U.S. system is adequate as it is, or would function better as a parliamentary system.
3. Define gridlockthe failure to enact laws, including appropriations acts, that are widely perceived to have meritand list factors contributing to gridlock, including divided party control of the presidency and Congress, divided party control of the House and Senate, and ideological polarization.
4. List factors which may lessen gridlock, such as unified party control of the presidency, House, and Senate; larger numbers of moderates among Democrats and Republicans in Congress; and, overwhelming public support for new legislation.
5. Offer a useful conclusion restating the argument and thesis.
