Numerous reform movements over the past century have designated parties as the enemy of democracy, and they have found a willing ally in the American people in their efforts to rein in and occasionally root out parties. The text investigates several of these antiparty reform efforts - from open primaries to campaign finance restrictions to nonpartisan legislatures - using legislative roll call votes, campaign donations patterns, and extensive interviews with local political elites.Political partiesHistory20th centuryUnited StatesProgressivism (United States politics)History20th centuryUnited StatesPolitical cultureHistory20th centuryU.S. statesPolitics and governmentPolitical Rights - U.SHILCCGovernment - U.SHILCCLaw, Politics & GovernmentHILCCPolitical partiesHistoryProgressivism (United States politics)HistoryPolitical cultureHistoryU.S. statesPolitics and governmentPolitical Rights - U.S.Government - U.S.Law, Politics & Government324.273Masket Seth E1223355PQKBBOOK9910154302003321The inevitable party : why attempts to kill the party system fail and how they weaken democracy2837705UNINA
