Explain how the popular and electoral college votes decide the presidency. Identify and explain the different forms of jurisdict

Novosadov [1.4K]

Popular vote means that people vote for the president directly and is the easiest way to decide. People vote and the amount of votes for candidates decides who the president is. This type of voting is common practice in most democratic countries around the world and doesn't have anything between the voters and the candidates.

The electoral college system means that people vote indirectly. They vote for who they would like to win and then the electors who are the prime voters give the votes to the president. This creates the opportunity for the electors to vote against the will of the people and these people are called faithless electors. This system is used in the United States.

There are two primary jurisdictions and numerous sub-jurisdictions.

The first is the Original jurisdiction.This is the jurisdiction in which the supreme court is the first court where you go when you have a problem and there are numerous cases where the supreme court would be the first stop in trying to solve your problem. This means that no lower courts participate in these cases. There are seven types of cases where original jurisdiction applies.

1. First is when there is a dispute between two states. If for example North and South Carolina have problems regarding trade between the two states or there are issues in territories which are shared by the two states, they go to the supreme court and the supreme court decides which state is right and which has to pay up.

2. Second is in disputes where one side is the United States and the other side is a civilian. These are the famous cases which often historically have been about interpretations of the constitution and they go to court usually when people believe that the United States government has in any way damaged them.

3. Third is disputes between civilians from other states. If a person from Texas was having problems with a person from Utah, the supreme court would have original jurisdiction because the two states have different laws to some degree and their individual state jurisdictions do not apply to people from other states.

4. Fourth is when a crime regarding a federal law is involved. This is similar to cases where people go against the government but in these cases there is crime involved. A person usually commits a federal crime and can go to the supreme court. Sometimes even the government can commit something that can be understood as a federal crime.

5. Fifth is habeas corpus laws. Habeas corpus cases deal with false imprisonment. If a person has been imprisoned and believes that it's been an illegal imprisonment they can go to the supreme court and the supreme court can give an order for those people to be released if they really had been unlawfully imprisoned.

6. Sixth is bankruptcy. Cases regarding bankruptcy can be solved by the supreme court, especially when determining how much is owed or to whom or who is at fault for the bankruptcy. This is usually regarding big companies or anything similar since personal bankruptcy cases are too small to be considered by the supreme court sometimes.

7. Seventh deals with international trade disputes. For example, if the government made a trade agreement with someone else and the trade agreement is bad for the United States and the people, then the supreme court can intervene and they can cancel the trade deal if it is proven that it was bad for the country.

The second big jurisdiction is the appellate jurisdiction. Here, the Supreme Court does not have original jurisdiction which means that the cases came from lower courts. It is the highest appeal court of the country and if a lower court has made a mistake then the supreme court can decide what needs to be done if you decide to appeal.

In 1954, the Supreme Court handed down a unanimous decision in the case of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. The de

Burka [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

On May 17, 1954, Chief Justice Earl Warren issued the Supreme Court’s unanimous decision in Brown v. Board of Education, ruling that racial segregation in public schools violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. As a result, students of color in the United States would no longer be required by law to attend previously under-resourced Black-only schools. The ruling was a pivotal event in the civil-rights movement in the United States. Changing, hearts and two centuries of entrenched racism would require much more than a degree from the nation's highest court. Brown was met with apathy at first, as well as strong resistance in most southern states.

Monroe Elementary, her all-Black school, was fortunate, and unusual, in having well-kept facilities, well-trained instructors, and sufficient supplies. However, the Brown case's other four lawsuits indicated more widespread issues. The school facilities in Clarendon, South Carolina, were described as decaying wooden shacks in the trial. Crowding forced students to learn on an old school bus and shacks. In Prince Edward County, Virginia, where the high school lacked a cafeteria, gym, nurse's office, or teachers' bathrooms.

The Supreme Court's decision brought public attention to the captivity of African-Americans for the first time since the Reconstruction Era. What's the result? The emergence of a new civil rights movement that will use boycotts, sit-ins, freedom rides, and voter-registration drives to persistently oppose segregation and seek legal equality for Black families. The Brown decision spurred Southern blacks to challenge restrictive and punishing Jim Crow laws, but it also mobilized Southern whites in support of segregation, resulting in the notorious 1957 standoff at a high school in Little Rock, Arkansas. By the mid-1960s, violence against civil-rights activists had intensified, upsetting many in the North and overseas, and assisting in the passage of key civil-rights and voting-rights laws. Finally, in 1964, two parts of the Civil Rights Act provided the federal government for the first time the ability to compel school desegregation: the Justice Department could sue schools that refused to integrate, and the government could withhold money from segregated schools. Within five years of the act's implementation, over a third of Black students in the South were enrolled in integrated schools, and by 1973, that number had risen to nearly 90%.

Give me 2 supporting facts about some americans expressed concerns about weaknesses in the articles of confederation

Crank

One of the main reasons why many Americans expressed concerns about weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation is that they gave the federal government no power to tax--making it impossible to pay back war debts. Another reason was that they made it hard to put down rebellions such as Shays' Rebellion, which frightened many people.

What did lewis say would happen if the otoe disobeyed the "great father"?

tekilochka [14]

Lewis said to Otoe if he disobeyed the great father is by having to say the following, “Lest by one false step you should bring upon your nation the displeasure of your great father, the great chief of the seventeen great nations of America, who could consume you as the fire consumes the grass of the plains.” Bu this, Lewis is likely blackmailing Otoe and that what he meant by his sentence is that he wanted Otoe to do what he is asked or if not, he would likely face consequences that are not good.
