Hi from Panha at PUC.
a party system
The Populist party
The party system in France's Third Republic (1870-1940) was characterized by a multiparty framework with numerous political factions, often leading to coalition governments and political instability. In contrast, the British party system was more stable, dominated primarily by two major parties: the Conservatives and the Liberals (later the Labour Party). This two-party system allowed for clearer electoral choices and more consistent governance in Britain, while France's fragmented political landscape resulted in frequent changes in government and a higher degree of political polarization.

When a political party comes to power, its leaders tend to place many of their faithful followers into important public offices. The use of public offices as rewards for political party work is known as the Spoils System.
A two-party system is a political system where two major parties dominate the political landscape and typically compete for power. In contrast, a multi-party system is a political system where multiple parties compete for power and representation, leading to a more diverse political landscape and potentially requiring coalition governments to govern effectively.
I would suggest you read the chapters that were assigned on the subject!
It's actually not important per se; the Founders of the U.S. Constitution actually did not want political parties to exist at all (which is why the U.S. has a representational system based on geography, not party strength as in other democracies).What is important is that we have more than one party, which is how dictatorships usually operate.
