9631723201National CommitteeOne of the institutions that keep the party operating between conventions. The national committee is composed of representatives from the states and territories.2
9631723203National ChairmanAppointed by the DNC or the RNC as head of the party.3
9631723208Political Machinewell organized political organization that controls election results by awarding jobs and other favors in exchange for votes4
9631723210Patronage(politics) granting favors or giving contracts or making appointments to office in return for political support5
9631723213Linkage Institutionsthe channels through which people's concerns become political issues on the government's policy agenda. In the United States, linkage institutions include elections, political parties, interest groups, and the media.6
9631723226Party PlatformA political party's statement of its goals and policies for the next four years.
