Political parties are primarily defined in which of the following ways? A. a candidate B. a state C. a law D. an issue

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A i believe

OpenStudy (foreverjennnicole):

Why do you say that?

OpenStudy (the_mobster):

In my personal opinion it would be D but the correct answer is A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because political parties are always considered a candidates. being as to how they are "parties" i agree with @The_Mobster though, D is a better answer. Not the right one, but a better one

OpenStudy (the_mobster):

yea

OpenStudy (foreverjennnicole):

I was actually stuck between A and D so I'm glad y'all cleared it up for me. Haha, thanks. Could you help me with a couple more? They're fairly easy, I just want to make sure I'm understanding everything correctly.

OpenStudy (the_mobster):

Its no problem at all let us know if you need anything else

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^^ what they said haha

OpenStudy (foreverjennnicole):

Which of the following if NOT a function served by political parties? A. governmental function B. electing function C. seal of approval function D. nominating function I think it's B because I don't remember it being one of the main functions but I know elections are held so it makes me also think it's A...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Political parties (1) select candidates, (2) mobilize voters, (3) facilitate governance, and (4) monitor the opposing party when it's in power

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what they do

OpenStudy (foreverjennnicole):

So is it D? Now I'm rethinking it. Because they don't nominate candidates. Or do they? Agh I'm so confused lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they select candidates

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didnt see anything about a seal of approval

OpenStudy (foreverjennnicole):

That's actually the one answer I do think is correct though. It's what I remember in my lesson. Political parties decide which candidates they approve and which ones they don't. But it might not relate to this question.. are you sure it's C?
