By dominant party system is meant a party system where more than one party exists and freely competes but one party gets much higher support than any other party. The opposition parties are weak and divided. For example in India the Congress party enjoyed unbroken spell of power forabout 30 years i.e. from 1947 to 1977. After remaining in opposition forless than three years it again emerged as the dominant party in 1980. It lost its power again in 1989. Hence, we can say that dominant party system may not be a continuous or permanent one.

The US did not originally have a two party system. There were several parties in the beginning, and even George Washington warned against the two party system. Over the years however, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have become the dominant parties in the US. There are still other parties, such as the Independant, Green, Socialist, and even Communist parties. Usually these parties don't get enough votes or attention to become popular though.

During and after the US Civil War, the Republican Party became the dominant party of the United States. It was, however, a divided party. Lincoln had to balance the Radical Republicans, with more moderate Republicans and the War Democrats.
No, the Democratic Party is considered part of the USA's dominant two party system. Examples of third parties would be the Libertarian Party, the Green Party, and the Peace and Freedom Party.
The dominant political party in Canada during the last century was the Liberal Party.
The three main types of party systems are one-party system (single dominant political party), two-party system (two major parties dominate politics), and multi-party system (multiple parties compete for power and representation). Each system has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of political stability and representation.
Such a political organization is often referred to as a "dominant party" or a "one-party dominant system." In this system, the same political party consistently secures electoral victories and exerts significant control over the government and political processes. Some examples include the Communist Party in China or the African National Congress in South Africa.
Democratic Party
The two party system in the US was firmly established by the early 19th century, with the Democratic-Republicans and the Federalists as the main political parties. This system has persisted with different party alignments over time, but has remained the dominant political structure in the country.
