CHAPTER 7

1. E States that use open primaries allow voters of any party to vote in one party primary of their choice, making (E) correct. Choices (A), (B), (C), and (D) do not meet the definition of an open primary and are thus incorrect.

2. D Rules about campaign finance have changed since 2002, but one rule that has remained constant is that PACs can give candidates $5,000 and no more than $5,000 per election cycle. So (D) should be your choice.

3. A Answer choices (B), (C), (D), and (E) are all examples of groups that assemble at nominating conventions, but the position of a party is known as its platform, and this is formed by (A) the platform committee.

4. A The president of the United States is the person who receives a majority of votes in the electoral college, making (A) correct. If a candidate only has a plurality of votes in the electoral college (C), then the House decides the president. Unanimity is nice, but not necessary for victory, making (E) wrong. The popular vote plays no role in who becomes president, making (B) and (D) wrong.

5. B Though there are exceptions, studies have overwhelmingly shown that the older and more educated a person is, the more likely they are to vote. The 65-year-old college professor is the oldest and best educated member of the group of choices, so (B) is correct.
