Answer the following two questions, each in essay writing format.:
(1) What are the major factors that you would ascribe to explaining a state’s politics?
This is to be answered by conceptualizing the ideas about what factors should be understood to explain a state’s political dynamics (beyond just political parties and elections).
What factors make a state politically one way or another?
Take a sense of the various topics and connect how those ideas/concepts help to better explain why one state “political acts” one way while those same factors may help to explain how another state “acts politically”.
Because of how wide/expansive the field of ideas/factors may be, the question becomes, what do you see as the important/relevant factors to explaining how a state’s politics is understood.
(2) How does a state’s public opinion, interest group environment, and political parties influence a state’s political landscape and its electoral environment.
