Question

Write short note on Cyclical theory.

Answer 1

The cyclical theory refers to a model used byhistorians Arthur M. Schlesinger Sr. andArthur M. Schlesinger Jr. to explain the fluctuations in politics throughout American history. In this theory, the national mood alternates between liberalism andconservatism. Each phase has characteristic features, and each phase is self-limiting, generating the other phase. This alternation has repeated itself several times over the history of the United States.
