Answer:
The electoral college system was the best solution they chose to democratically elect a president in a way that was both consistent with republican values and with the protections of rights of smaller states.
Explanation:
The Constitution and the new laws in the United States were revolutionary and pioneering by the end of the 18th century. The Founding Fathers could not look at a previous democratic model to find inspiration, because autocracy was the system of government anywhere else. One of the great dilemmas of democracy is how to avoid the tyranny of majorities over minorities. Could they have thought of a better system then? Maybe it was possible in theory, but it was very hard in practice. Besides, the population of the fomer colonies wasn´t as large as it´s today, and there were only 13 states, not 50. They could hardly have envision some outcomes we´ve seen in recent years when some candidates have won the popular vote, but have failed to win key states and electoral votes. They chose what they saw as the best option.
I believe it is A. American colonists were required to pay a tax on every piece of printed paper including playing cards, legal documents, newspapers and other publications. The reason it is called the Stamp Act is because all of these papers had to be physically stamped to prove that they had paid the tax. So it has nothing to do with taxing postage stamps, so the answer should be A.
Answer:
The main reason the colonists were angry, historians say, was because Britain had rejected the concept of 'no taxation without representation.' At that time, almost no colonists chose to be independent of Britain. But all of them, as British citizens, respected their rights and the principle of local self-rule.
