Illustrate the distinctions between a dominant-party system and a single-party government. Name and describe an example for each.
What will be an ideal response?
Students should provide clear definitions of a dominant-party system (multiple parties exist but the same party wins every election and governs continuously) and a single-party government (one party is in control of government, but power can alternate between parties from election to election). Dominant-party system would be Japan; single-party government would be the United States or Britain.
