Answer to Question 1

Answer: c

Answer to Question 2

Answer:
An ideal response will:
1. Describe the obstacles that have so often thwarted the ascension of third parties into government, giving consideration to cultural consensus, winner-take-all elections, and ballot access.
2. Offer a sense of which barrier has been the most effective and why.
3. Describe under what circumstances a third party could emerge as a lasting, major force in U.S. politics, providing sufficient examples and reasons to make the case.
