Even though there are other parties that do exist in the United States the two main parties in the government are the Democratic and Republican parties. Instead of only one party that controls the government there are two parties. Having the two-party system in the United States is beneficial because a two-party system allows there to be a stable balance in the government. The Democratic party believes in the idea that there should be equal rights. That the government should be more active in the lives of people in need. Meaning that the government should be taking care of all their citizens. On the other side there’s the Republicans party takes care of owners that are from both large and small business. Having a two party system allows each party to focus on the interest and opinions of the people because each group consists of individual voters. Both parties try to do what's best for the county. Democratic believe that people should have the right to abortion their child because it is their body and they should have a choice to do what they want. Republicans have their own opinion on abortion. They believe that the unborn child also has rights too. That that baby should have the right to live. Each party voices their opinions and the people can decided which side they are for. Having two political parties allows what is necessary to make political decisions because each party has to think about the interest and opinions of the people, so that they can continue to receive the support from them. Political parties work together to get their candidate elected. After their candidates are elected into office, they work together to decide what laws to pass. The main goal of any political party is to win elections so that they could decide what is right for their government. People in the United States when they register to vote, they
The Political Turmoil of China From 1911 to 1927 There were many reasons why China slipped into political instability or turmoil between 1911 and 19287. There reasons include the questionable leadership of Yuan Shih Kai, the presence of the warlords, the One of the reasons was that questionable leadership of Yuan Shih Kai. When Yuan took over control from Sun Yat Sen as the President, he tried to revert to the monarchical system of rule. From 1912 until 1915, he ruled as a military dictator with the support of the army. His rule was already blemished with resistance and that demonstrated that the people did not quite accept him as the leader of China.
In the 1790s, soon after the ratification of the Constitution, political parties were nonexistent in the USA because President Washington feared they would drive the country apart. However, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, with their rivalling mental models, could not help but spark the division of the United States into the Democratic-Republican and Federalist parties. These parties, the Democratic-Republican wanting a small, local government system and the Federalist wanting a strong, powerful government system, turned citizens against one another and eventually led to the inimical Democratic and Republican parties of today. Hence, the formation of the original political parties in the United States is very significant. Political
There have been many different parties surface since the beginning of the American political system. They all have had different thoughts, policies, and motivations. Each party has their own agenda some have made significant contributions and others have not. The first split, and beginning of the party system, came with the variation between the Federalists and the Democratic Republicans. These two parties were extremely different in thought, strategies, and status of people involved such as their leaders and believes on how to run the government. The Federalists worked to create a stronger national government, supported British in foreign affairs, and favored a national bank. The Democratic-Republican Party operated to advocate states’ rights, supported the French in foreign affairs and opposed a national bank. These are some of the differences that set apart these two major government Parties.

However, even today America still has political party groups which affect the country both positively and negatively unlike what Washington had thought. He stated that parties would cause problems, however the parties are what keep the government intact and it also helps make decisions for the country.
In the United States there are only two main political parties to choose from. The two main parties are the Democrats and the Republicans. There are also many other political parties to choose from which are called third parties. Third parties may include political parties such as the Socialist Equality Party and the Peace and Equality party. People can choose to be a part of any party they want but most go with the common two main parties the Democrats and Republicans. Democrats and Republicans have many similarities and differences.

A two-party system is a political system in which only two parties have a realistic opportunity to compete effectively for control. As a result, all, or nearly all, elected officials end up being a member in one of the two major parties. In a two-party system, one of the parties usually holds a majority in the legislature hence, being referred to as the majority party while the other party is the minority party. The United States of America is considered to be a two-party system. A two-party system emerged early in the history of the new Republic. Beginning with the Federalists and the Jeffersonian Republicans in the late 1780s, two major parties have dominated national politics, although which particular two parties has changed with the times and issues. During the nineteenth century, the Democrats and Republicans emerged as the two dominant parties in American politics. As the American party system evolved, many third parties emerged, but few of them remained in existence for very long. Today the Democrats and Republican still remain as the dominant parties. These two parties hav...
Today, political parties can be seen throughout everyday life, prevalent in various activities such as watching television, or seeing signs beside the road while driving. These everyday occurrences make the knowledge of political parties commonly known, especially as the two opposing political parties: the Republicans and the Democrats. Republican and Democrats have existed for numerous years, predominantly due to pure tradition, and the comfort of the ideas each party presents. For years, the existence of two political parties has dominated the elections of the president, and lower offices such as mayor, or the House of Representatives. Fundamentally, this tradition continues from the very emergence of political parties during the election of 1796, principally between Federalist John Adams and Anti-federalist Thomas Jefferson. Prior to this election people unanimously conformed to the ideas of one man, George Washington, and therefore did not require the need for political parties.1 However, following his presidency the public was divided with opposing opinions, each arguing the best methods to regulate the country. Ultimately, the emergence of different opinions regarding the future of the United States involving the economy, foreign relations, ‘the masses,’ and the interpretation of the Constitution, led to the two political parties of the 1790s and the critical election of 1800.
When a country only has a one party government, there is only one outcome for every situation. With a divided government, there can be multiple outcomes. What that one party says, goes even if their decision is wrong and ends up hurting the people and country. They may look at certain situations or problems but never really get past them because they feel that nothing appears to be wrong with the way they are doing things. Having a divided government adds much needed insight to certain problems. Divided government is a good thing because each side can meet in the middle and create an atmosphere of cooperation and compromise that will approve legislation which will appeal to the middle and moderate Americans rather than the extremes. In a divided government, each party serves as a watch dog for the other, ensuring that one side does not become stronger than the other. Having these checks and balances ensures that one side does not turn into a tyrannical form of government since the different branches of government have to check on one another, each party has a way of stalling the efforts of the other party. This division also increases the chance of an opposing voice, promotes debates between the two sides and provides a more effective oversight on the executive
The term party system refers to the organizations, the balance of power and the institutional bases of the country. Though the Founding Fathers, particularly George Washington, warned the nation about becoming a two-party system, America has been a strong two party nation since the 1790s, when the Federalist competed against the Jeffersonian Republicans. In the present days, the two predominant parties are the Democratic and the Republican Parties, but, as mentioned before, this was not always the case. The first party system was constituted in 1790s. The
China has been ruled by the Communist Party ever since. It was the events between 1946 and 1964 that strengthened communism in China. At the end of World War II, the Nationalist Party (GMD) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) raced for power in China. The chairman of the Communist Party was Mao Zedong and their army was known as the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). The Nationalist’s were led by Chiang Kai-shek and their army was the Kuomintang.
Xi Jinping and his rise to Chinese presidency began in Beijing during China’s reforms under Mao Zedong. His father was a communist party leader that was persecuted after Mao turned on his own party during the communist revolution. Though Mao’s cultural revolution did not exactly succeed, it threw young Xi Jinping into the political world with concepts of pragmatism and bureaucratic ideas. He moved to the southeastern part of China where he developed the economic and political roots that set him on the track to becoming the chief of the communist party in 2007, and then the vice president of China in 2008. Xi Jinping during his presidential campaign, appeared as a “liberal” leader because of his disapproval of the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989. In 2013,
From the beginning of their establishment, the bilateral relations between the United States of America and China have changed throughout the time. The bilateral relations of the two countries emerged from 1970’s with the ‘Ping-Pong’ diplomacy and there have been many pauses in their mutual relations. The US and China enjoyed cooperation in economic and military spheres and the mutual relations grew massively during until the end of 1990’s. The heads of the two states began visiting each other’s countries and the economic ties were tightening year by year. However, the issues of human rights and free speech declined mutual Sino-American relations. The American principle of democracy promotion and human rights protection minimized the Sino- American relations after the Tiananmen Square events in 1989, the US Presidents-George Bush and Bill Clinton- playing a key role in determining the further American foreign policy towards China.
The topic of democracy in China is a highly controversial topic. Although China has not democratised, it has done well in the global situation amongst its democratic competitors. Since the path to democracy is different for each country, we cannot expect that China would follow the same path or same model of democracy as the western nations. This essay will look at what democracy is and how it can be placed in a Chinese context as well as looking at the proponents and opponents of democracy in China. It will also look at whether China is democratising by focusing on village elections, globalisation and the emergence of a civil society. These specific topics were chosen because they will help provide good evidence and arguments to the topic of democratisation in China. The main argument in this essay will be that although China is implementing some changes that can be seen as the beginning of a road to democracy, there contribution should not be over estimated. China still has a long way to go before it can be considered that it is democratising. The small changes are good but China still has a long road ahead of itself to achieve democracy.
