American Political Customs
In spite of the truth that anti-partyism has been an underlying feature of American political customs since the suspicion of factions uttered by the founding fathers and embodied in the constitution, political parties fulfil many vital roles in the current political system. Without a doubt the majority of Americans considers that parties ato be essential for democratic government and condemn countries without elections contested by political parties as unconstitutional. The essential function played by parties in contemporary democratic states is noted by Schattschneider who argues that political parties created democracy, and contemporary democracy is absurd in terms of parties. This relationship has had primary implications for the enlargement of political parties in the America and their position in the political structure.
The task of American political parties does not differ from the functions of political parties in any modern representative democracy. Political parties are vital in that they create a link amid the rulers and the ruled, they form the vote and aggregate demands in heavily populated, diverse societies and they systematize and gather government administration.
Wrapping up, I can say that critics of American political parties dispute that they are scrawny, unproductive, too alike, under developed and therefore unable to perform the functions of parties essential in modern democracies for efficient, representative and accountable government. In comparison with European parties, it is probably accurate to say that American parties offer less option, and are less disciplined and consistent and generally, are weaker, less influential organisations.
