What was the Federalist Party?
The Federalist Party was one of the first two political parties organized after adoption of the US constitution. It was the party in favor of a strong central government. During the War of 1812, it was the party in opposition to the war. It finally ceased to exist in 1856, although it had been a minor player for some years before that.
What decides weather a political party will be the majority or minority party?
The majority party is the party to which the most representatives or senators belong. The other party is the minority party.
What sort of voting system normally is most likely to lead to a two-party political system?
I realize this is a standard question on someone's test, but in reality first-past-the-post voting does not always produce two-party systems. Although concern over splitting the electorate tends to consolidate parties in such a system, resulting in two major parties, there are usually minor parties waiting in the wings to become one of the major parties. In Britain, this role was played by the Liberal party, who grew in the 1980s to become a serious voice in British politics and held the balance of power after the 2010 election. In Canada, one of the major parties, the Conservatives, were practically wiped out in the 1993 election and a regional party, the Bloc Québecois, became the second largest party, and again, in 2011, the New Democratic Party, a third party, overtook the Liberal party to become the second party in Parliament.
