i think the answer is in your BOOK check it out sometime.
Multiple political parties are most common in a parliamentary system. In this system, parties often form coalitions to achieve a majority, reflecting a wider range of political views and interests. This contrasts with a two-party system, where two dominant parties typically compete for power. Countries like Germany and India exemplify parliamentary systems with multiple active political parties.
yes, this tends to be true. Each party tries to appeal to enough different interests to attract a majority.
The coalitions of voters that support the parties change significantly.
A coalition is a joining of forces together for a common cause. Examples of coalitions are various governments around the world (such as Germany's coalition led by Angela Merkel) or coalitions of Armed Forces. Another example of a coalition is when Napoleon led his coalitions.
a realignment
The dominance of two parties in the American political system was primarily solidified after the Civil War, particularly with the establishment of the Republican Party as the primary opposition to the Democratic Party. The political realignments during and after the war created a clear divide between the parties, with Republicans generally supporting Reconstruction and Democrats advocating for states' rights. This two-party system was further reinforced by winner-takes-all electoral mechanics and the need for broad coalitions to win elections, leading to the marginalization of third parties.
