"The American Political System"
The American system is ruled by two parties, democrats and republicans and any additonal parties must have substantial funds in order to register for votes. As for checks and balances, it is only between two parties through the congress, senate and the executive branch through the President.
The lack of more parties is detrimental and in fact less democratic. The system in Canada is slightly better as additional parties have been formed but the majority government has far too much power, the US system has at least the Congress and Senate where the Republicans or Democrats can counter-balance each other.
The disadvantage of having too many parties is of course stagnation and no bills passed, the advantage is avoiding the mess Bush has got himself into in Iraq but following a neo-Conservative policy not supported by most of the American public.
