Course Description

As a political science graduate of UCSD, I will look at the impact of third parties on presidential elections throughout U.S. history. Political parties are not mentioned in the Constitution. Even so, parties began to emerge before the 19th century began. We didn’t have a stable two-party system until the 1830s, and third parties swiftly followed. We will examine third parties that were successful over more than one election and those that made a difference in a single election. We also will look at why it is so difficult for third parties to make a dent in the electoral system or to endure.
