Read Section 1. After reading the section, tell me something about the section. Write something interesting, something you did not know previously, and one interesting facts (one of each).
I knew that the political parties were groups of people who seek to control the government through the winning of election and the holding of public office, and i knew that the two major parties are republican and democrat. I didn't know that partisanship is a firm allegiance to a political party. A little fun fact is that Vince Lombardi once said, "Winning isn't everything; it's the only thing."
I didn't know that parties had watchdogs. Whatever party that has the power then it controls the executive branch. This can be the national level or the government at the state level. So whatever arty doesn't have power then they are always trying to convince the voters that the power that is in power shouldn't have the power and that the party out of power should have the power. So either way every party thinks that they have the better people and they always think that thier beliefs are the way to go no matter what. So its always a pick and choose thing for voters since the parties are always trying to gain new votes.
Each party nominates the candidate they want to run for a specific office. Most of the time government positions are given to people who are public officeholders. A bond is an insurance agreement protecting a person or a business against loss caused by a third party.
I did not know about all the different procedures in nominating the candidates. I knew about all the different parties like democrats and republicans. I also knew about what they voted for and what they believed. I didn't know what partisanship was in the beggining of this section.
I think it's funny how the book talks about the parties' agendas. It makes me think that maybe parties are a bad idea and they only cause mor problems. In one section they go on to talk about how political parties tell you what you want to hear and that their whole purpose is to win elections. "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing." That's a great way to start a section. Boy oh boy, stop me before I get crazy with faith and trust for the Government...If you look at it that way we're hosed.
Something interesting is that the 2 major parties bring different ideas together and help unify our country. One thing that I didn't know is that a bond is an insurance agreement protecting a person or a business from losses because of a 3rd party. This helps to make sure that the parties perform well. An interesting fact is that the party that isn't in power is kind of like a watch dog for the party that is in power and they watch their every move to see if they make a mistake.
An interesting fact is that a political part acts as a "bonding agent" to help good performances out of the candidates. It's a good way to help understand the use of them. One thing I didn't know was that a partisanship is a firm allegiance to a political party is the basis for a government. An interesting fact is that the parties are like watchdogs of business. They control the branches of government
something that i found interseting is that parties are supposed to act as a watch dog over the publics businesses. I didnt know that a bond is an insurance agreement between the 2 types of politcal parties. The thing that I foung interesting is that a redskins football coach said that Winning isnt everything its the only thing
The one thing I did know is that the political parties have different views and fight for peoples rights or events that they want to get passed. And i didnt know that a politcal party could be reffered to as a bonding agent.
I knew that political parties were a united group of people with similar views on issues. I never thought of the "out party" being a watchdog but that makes sense. Bipartisanship is a term used to describe whenever the two major parties work together. Just so you know, in 1939 FDR reestablished Thanksgiving to extend the Christmas shopping season and to help stimulate the economy. It was offical made a holiday in 1941 by act of Congress.
I already knew that political parties are groups that try to get control of the government. I didn't know that they had watchdogs. That was pretty interesting.
I knew that the two major parties were Democrats and Republicans. I didn't that a Partisanship was a firm allegiance to a political party is the basis for government action. Overall this section was pretty short and easy to understand.
I did know that a political party was a grouop of people that seek government control by winning elections. I did not know that the political parties act as watchdogs and that they were refered to that. I also didn't know that partisanship was a firm allegiance to a political party and is the basis for government. An intersting fact is that a political party acts as a "bonding agent" to ensure the good performance of its candidates and officeholders.
I did not know that all the parties really care about is winning the election. I think it should be the other way around, they should worry about the issues. An interesting fact is that Parties try to inform the people as it think they should be informed to, to its own advantage.
I knew what political parties were but i guess i thought that they were geared more towards the ideas and getting issues passed instead of more for just winning elections
