==Issues with party power==

As more contemporary theorists have noted, parties tend to become overburdened with demands as they grow larger and lose focus on initial key issues. One example, pursued by [[Doug McAdam]] in his writing ''Political Process and the Development of Black Insurgency'', was the [[Civil Rights Movement]]. Although the movement initially succeeded and made enormous social and political impact due to its rational and centered goals, the movement began to weaken throughout the 1970s due in part to irreconcilable views touted by its various leaders and sects.<ref>McAdam, Doug. 2006.
