Where is the party platform adopted?
  1. In a backroom where a bunch of old guys smoke cigars.
  2. At the national party convention.
  3. In Congress.
  4. At a Cabinet meeting.
  5. The party platform is never adopted-it’s an informal thing.
Explanation
Answer: B - The party platform, the official statement of policy preferences of the national party, is adopted at the national party convention. The convention is held every four years and also officially nominates the party’s presidential candidate. The platform has become relatively meaningless in recent years, as it is seen as a way to make the various party constituencies happy rather than representing the actual positions of any candidates.
