Question #4b43a
1 Answer
The two-party system evolved in the United States mainly because of opposing viewpoints regarding the interpretation of the Constitution.
Explanation:
For example, the first "official" parties were the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. The Federalists believed that the Constitution should be loosely interpreted and more central/government power. On the other hand, Anti-Federalists believed in a strict interpretation of the Constitution and more state power (not federal power).
Today, the major two parties are the Republicans and the Democrats. For instance, Republicans believe in more of a laissez-faire government when the government takes a "hands off" approach, while Democrats believe that the government should be involved in the everyday lives of citizens.
Hope this helps!
