Political Parties in the United States: Many More Than 2  
INFORMATIVE 

Tags: politics, political parties, elections, United States, democrat, republican, libertarian

Although political parties have no specific role under the U.S. Constitution, they are regulated by the constitutions of the individual states, which organize elections to both local and federal offices. Since the mid 1800s, the country has been limited to a two-party system with occasional inlets made by third parties. There have been many political parties other than the two dominant ones, but most third parties are generally considered to be of only minor and short-lived political significance.
