Why is the Green Party unique among minor parties?

a. it became part of the democratic party

b. it is the only minor party to nominate a presidential candidate

c. it began as a single issue party but has grown to address other issues

d. it became part of the Republican party

The right answer is c.: it began as a single issue party but has grown to address other issues. The Green Party was founded in 2001 and initially only focused on issues regarding the environment and ecology. However, over the years, the party also took a stance towards other issues, such as social justice, feminism, education, healthcare, criminal justice, LGBT + rights, foreign policy, etc.

Answers A and D are false because the Green Party is still independent and has not become part of the Democratic Party, nor the Republican Party.

Answer B is false because other minor parties have also nomited presidential candidates over the years, such as the Libertarian Party and the Constitution Party.
