There has been much discussion in the United States lately about our current choices of candidates for President for our two major parties. The US political system has been dominated by the Republican and Democratic political parties for over a century. Duverger’s law is a good lens through which to understand why our system has evolved the way it has.

Civic-minded readers, consider briefly whether you think our two-party system is beneficial for our country or whether we should consider voting methods (examples: 1, 2) that could enhance the chances for other parties to be more frequently represented in government.
