This book traces the major parties' utter dominance--of the highest elected positions all the way down to \"\"nonpartisan\"\" political offices across the U.S.--from the founding of the Constitution through the 2020 presidential election. Even before the founding of the \"\"modern\"\" Republican Party in 1854 and the next 168-year era of Democratic-GOP dominance, the early decades of American nationhood were ruled in a similar manner by the two major parties of the day. This book is a comprehensive, fast-paced analysis of how the two-party system has grown to be such an affront to the ideals of the Founding Fathers and of the numerous Americans today who appear to accept it as a fact of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteven Verrier\u003c\/b\u003e has previously written works of short drama, fiction, and nonfiction published in the United States, Canada, and Japan.
