Throughout the world, democracies govern nations through political parties that compete to represent the wishes of voters. Many countries go through elaborate coalition building efforts to create alliances that are strong enough to govern. The United States, however, has a long standing history of a two party system. Join Active Minds as we explore the reasons why political parties arose in the U.S., the issues that lead to the development of new political parties and why the two party system appears so entrenched in American politics.

About Active Minds: Active Minds started in 2002 as a series of poetry classes in a church basement in Denver. Before long, it grew to include other courses focusing on contemporary global issues, historical themes, and other matters of importance. The original audience was primarily senior citizens, but over time Active Minds has grown to serve adults of all ages through programming at book stores, libraries, and corporations. Today Active Minds provides programming to over 200 organizations and has over 30 highly qualified instructors on staff. John Henderson and Zane Robertson formed Active Minds out of a deeply felt belief that lifelong learning is central to a life well lived. We are inspired by members of our own families who embodied this spirit and dedicate this work to them.
