Many of the most important minor parties have been which kind of party? a: a splinter party b: an economic protest party c: a single-issue party d: an ideological party

The correct answer is A) a splinter party.

Many of the most important minor parties have been splinter parties.

A splinter party is formed when members break away from one of the major parties. In this case, the major two parties in the United States are the Republican Party and the Democratic Party.

That is a splinter party, and many important minor parties have been splinter parties.
