How do different types of voting systems lead to different types of party systems?
In a Presidential system that uses first-past-the-post, it is hard to get more than two or three significant parties. Simply put, a party that only pull 15-20% of the vote will never win the election and, over time, its supporters will transfer their allegiance to one of the parties that is competitive.
In a parliamentary system that uses first-past-the-post, the same rule applies for national parties, but regional parties can make an impact, possibly holding the balance of power when neither national party can get a clear majority. A good example of this is the United Kingdom and Canada where you have three national parties and also parties that are competitive in different regions (Bloc Quebecois in Quebec, Scottish Nationalists in Scotland, and Plaid Cymru in Wales.)
Multi-member systems (either proportional representation or single transferrable vote) results in a larger number of viable political parties that win seats in the governing body. A good example of this is Germany where the balance of power is held by the second tier parties that win seats through the party list not through individual constituencies.

What are the two different parts of primaries and what do they do?
Primaries consist of two main types: open primaries and closed primaries. In open primaries, voters can choose which party's primary to participate in, regardless of their registered party affiliation. In contrast, closed primaries require voters to be registered with a specific party to vote in that party's primary. These systems determine how candidates are selected for the general election and can influence voter turnout and party dynamics.
Which of the following is the best definition of gerrymander?
A gerrymander is an oddly shaped district design to increase the voting strength of a particular party. The name comes from salamander-shaped districts drawn up the influence of one Elbridge Gerry , a governor of Massachusetts. As a verb it means to draw up gerrymander districts. Gerrymandering tends to occur after each census which changes the number of Congressional districts in a state. States also need to change their own legislative distrcts from to time to time due to shifts in population and the new districts may be gerrymandered to help the party in power. The idea is to study past voting records and create as many districts as possible with a slight but solid majority for the controling party. It may be necessary to have some "lost" districts to which as many opposing voters as possible are placed.

What is Duverger's Party System Types?
Duverger's Party System Types refer to the classification of political party systems based on the electoral systems in place, as proposed by French political scientist Maurice Duverger. He identified three main types: single-party systems, where one party dominates; two-party systems, typically emerging from plurality voting (such as in the U.S.); and multi-party systems, which often arise from proportional representation. Duverger's theory suggests that the electoral system significantly influences the number and nature of political parties in a given country.
