I’m studying for my Political Science class and need an explanation.

Will give the syllabus containing all article links

1. Do the two political parties exist as a duopoly (a two-headed monopoly) over American politics, or are there access points for independents and third parties?

2. Are both parties equally to blame for modern political polarization?

3. Was the presidency becoming more imperial inevitable? How might the other branches have stopped the presidency from attaining so much power?
