Cornhusker Boys’ State has two fictitious political parties, the Nationalists and Federalists. Boys State is divided equally and randomly into each party. They start from scratch and debate the “planks” of their platform. The platform is a set of principles and policy priorities of the party. This process is entirely student-led, primarily by the peer-elected party chairman at their party’s convention.
