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. 606 $aPolitical parties$xHistory$y20th century$zUnited States 606 $aProgressivism (United States politics)$xHistory$y20th century$zUnited States 606 $aPolitical culture$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aU.S. states$xPolitics and government 606 $aPolitical Rights - U.S$2HILCC 606 $aGovernment - U.S$2HILCC 606 $aLaw, Politics & Government$2HILCC 615 0$aPolitical parties$xHistory 615 0$aProgressivism (United States politics)$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory 615 0$aU.S. states$xPolitics and government 615 7$aPolitical Rights - U.S. 615 7$aGovernment - U.S. 615 7$aLaw, Politics & Government 676 $a324.273 700 $aMasket$b Seth E$01223355 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154302003321 996 $aThe inevitable party : why attempts to kill the party system fail and how they weaken democracy$92837705 997 $aUNINA
