The research project aims to discuss how modern “Trumpism” simply reflects broader historical issues in America. Political polarization is often blamed for continued political deadlock, especially within the American federal representative democracy, where two parties dominate the political climate. Through the historical examination of the electoral college, insight can be gained on why these issues exist today. This study draws on congressional data and historical records to analyze their impact on these problems. Diversifying American sociopolitical, economic, and cultural frameworks also beckons further study. Creating a third political party will strengthen American democracy by providing more popular choices. Therefore, American political cynicism can be dissuaded with other mainstream political parties.
