Explanation:

1. Political parties aim to structure government operations as part of governance. Selecting judicial officers is typically not their primary focus as it often involves independent processes. Reducing voter - turnout is not a positive or primary goal of legitimate governance. Enforcing laws is the job of law - enforcement agencies and the judicial system, not the primary focus of governance by political parties.
2. In the United States, the Democratic and Republican parties became dominant in the 19th century. They emerged and solidified their positions during this time through various political events and realignments.
3. Electioneering involves activities aimed at influencing government decisions through the electoral process. Selecting judicial officers is not electioneering. Enforcing economic policies is more related to executive functions after an election. Creating new laws is part of the legislative process after being elected, not the core of electioneering.

Answer:

1. b. Structuring government operations
2. b. 19th Century
3. c. Influencing government decisions
