Seeing as the constitution was written in the late 1700’s there were no political parties to speak of.

A primary election is where voters in each state votes for a presidential candidate by

By opening primaries, you give independent and third party voters an equal chance to participate, as well as favoring voters wishes over the party’s wishes. Often in primaries, candidates only reach out the committed ideological voters, but by opening the primary, they are forced to appeal to a larger audience in an attempt to gain swing voters, which in turn, results and having a candidate being well like by the majority causing less issues and gridlock later down the line. Also, by closing the voting at 6:00 pm as it often is in most states, you are making it harder for working parents to juggle work and parental duties as well as finding time to get to a polling place.

The 2016 primary elections have been a mess for both parties but it has insulted millions because their state didn’t allow independents to vote. Bernie Sanders, an independent form the state of Vermont is hoping to win the democratic nomination but has faced massive setbacks because of these closed primaries. Bernie Sanders has overwhelming support from independent voters all around the country, resulting in landslide victories. He crushed his establishment rival Hillary Clinton in Indiana with the help of independents. “Indiana was just the latest example of Sanders’ crossover appeal. He also won big in New Hampshire, Wisconsin and Michigan, where independents are free to participate” (Huffingtonpost). If every state had an open primary system, then Sanders could have been the front runner of his party. In reality the Sanders campaign is struggling to win each state without independents. Sanders argued for having more open contest by stating, “Three million people in the state of New York who are independents have lost their right to vote for the Democratic or Republican primary... That’s wrong.” Of course he’s right because those people could have made a massive change in this election. The most unsettling news out of this is the fact that independent voters could not change party after September. We like to think we have

Wilson felt that there was an absence of strong leadership in government, and sought a national primary to enhance an individual candidates strengths, allowing them to establish their own popular constituency. FDR carried out Wilson’s plan, and being that FDR established the modern presidency, every president has continued this. The consequences of this has been a connection between the people and the president. By allowing the primaries, if gives the people a chance to input their decision into presidential selection long before the Framers intended them to be able to. The candidates now individually raise issues important to them, and in fact have fallen into the trap that the Framers’ feared. Candidates play on issues the public finds important to get attention, and in the process make their own commitments to the public on what they are going to do about it, when in reality, they do not always have the power to be able to do the things they say they will. This has changed the public’s selection on the president’s selection from the qualifications of the president, to what they promise to do on certain

Abigail Williams commands both fear and respect throughout the story. Not only does Abigail have a powerful influence over Salem, but also her power and social status intensify tremendously. The justice system plays a huge part in heightening her influence in Salem. Abigail is the leader of the girls who are being accused of witchcraft and demands them for respect. She too becomes frightened and cultivates a deadly influence on people, especially the other girls. She threatens them by telling them to keep everything they did in the woods a secret. Keeping it all a secret will help prevent the public from creating any false concepts or them being accused of witchcraft. Many people who play a role with Abigail at this time feel threatened.

When it is around time for elections, signs around the neighborhood will start appearing to tell people to vote for them. This occurs mainly around the time of the primaries. The primaries occur every even year and they exist to elect state positions. Meaning who represents someone in the districts may change drastically or stay about the same. In simplest terms, the primary election exists to narrow down the amount of people running in the general election. Sometimes if the results are too close, a runoff will occur in between the primary and general election. 23 of these have yet to happen.

The interactions between Europeans and Native Americans have not always been positive. There are numerous difference that interactions between the two groups. Europeans were known as a group that during the 16th and 17th century, made a great deal of change with their religious views. They were once without religion, but were known to turn to sects like Christianity and Puritanism. The Native Americans were a group known to be without religion. These people did not believe it one God and a book to follow. They believed in various higher beings that oversaw things like hunting, crops and sacrifices. These spirits didn’t represent a sense of hope or something to look forward as did being a Christian. William Bradford and Mary White Rowlandson were two religious people who came from England to the new world in order to seek new opportunities in their religious pilgrimage. Upon their arrival to Massachusetts, they lived in settlements were next to Native establishments. Both women told stories of the horrors that the Natives put upon them.

At the conclusion of President Barack Obama’s historical consecutive terms in office there is going to be a large number of candidates that are vying for the nominations of the respective parties. Due to the constitutional term limits imposed on the President, Obama is barred to seek re-election in 2016. While there are about 10 candidates running for the republicans, there are only two still in the running for the Democratic Party. The way candidates are recognized by their respective parties to become a candidate for the United States Presidency is first by receiving an invitation to compete in the primaries, then being included in the nationwide polls, as well as being on the ballot for at least 75% of all states. At the conclusion of the February 1st caucus there were 3 Democrats and 10 republicans who were still in the Presidential race, since then one Democratic candidate had dropped out.

A last advantage to the primary elections is that it gives a chance to candidates that would not otherwise be in the running for presidential candidacy. What may be an unconventional democrat/liberal who is unpopular within the party may prove a hit with the electorate and gain a lot of votes. The party will get the candidate who is most electable out of the options, even if this is not necessarily someone entirely in line with party ideology. Jimmy Carter, for example, was not widely known until the 1976 primaries when his distance from DC politics played to his advantage, as it meant that he was also distanced from the recent Watergate Scandal.
