One general characteristic that political party leaders consider when putting forth presidential candidates is the candidates' religious beliefs. List three other characteristics, and explain why they are important

1. I believe the answer is: We have a two-party system

In united states, the power within the government is controlled by two majority parties , the democratic party and the republican party. Each year, each of these party could appoint one candidate to fight for the presidential election to assert control on the white house.

2. I believe the answer is: Greece

Greece is known to be the first nation that introduced the concept of direct democracy. In their form of government, all Men could be involved in the government by giving them the rights to directly votes the laws/legislations that the country shall passed on the current year.

after the civil war, and with the termination of slavery, the south was faced with a big problem; what was supposed to happen and how they were supposed to deal with the freedom and the rights that black people and freed slaves had gained as a result of the north defeating the south and forcing the end of slavery. first, most, if not all, of the workforce of the south came from slaves and they did not have an option to replace the loss of said workforce. second, particularly in the south, people were convinced that black people were lesser, less intelligent, less capable and less smart than whites. this posed a huge problem for them. also, southerners were faced with another issue; freed slaves now had a say in how their lives would be lived and the right to politically choose the way they would be governed. people in the south did not want to accept this, none of this and this opposition and the conflicts that arose from it, not to mention the afereffects of the war, forced the congress of the time to enact and enforce the reconstruction plans that had been proposed by president andrew johnson.
