MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Question: In the opening sentence, Lincoln refers to the founding of the nation “fourscore and seven” - 87 - years earlier. Which of the following best explains Lincoln’s purpose in this opening?

Options:

He was observing that the nation had strayed from its original ideals.
He wanted to remind people about what the nation’s founding ideals were.
He believed it was time to rethink what the Founding Founders had said.

Answer: He wanted to remind people about what the nation’s founding ideals were.

Explanation:

According to Mr. Lincoln’s one-time law partner, William Herndon, Mr. Lincoln followed Theodore Parker’s ideas. Mr. Parker was a Unitarian minister and he promoted the purity of inner ideals and individualism over corrupted social customs and laws. His one-time law partner once said, ‘’the U.S. Constitution is a provisional compromise between the ideal political principle of the Declaration and the actual selfishness of the people North and South.”

Mr. Abraham Lincoln didn’t say ‘’this took place 87 years before the 1863 gathering at Gettysburg, but he said “Fourscore and seven years ago” (a score being 20 years). By 1863, America had outlived a human life, and Mr. Lincoln had frequently called on his contemporaries to live up to the ideas of the past generation of American founders.

Why shouldn't the Electoral College be abolished?

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

If we abolish The Electoral College the election would be decided by Florida, the East Coast and the West Coast

What do you know about the Electoral College? What is its purpose? How does it work? (If you need more information, you might watch the two-minute video, “The Electoral College Explained,” or read the related article, “How Does the Electoral College Work?” from 2016.)

On March 18, at a CNN town hall in Jackson, Miss., Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts called for shutting down the Electoral College. “I believe we need a constitutional amendment that protects the right to vote for every American citizen and to make sure that vote gets counted,” she said.

Republicans responded:

“The desire to abolish the Electoral College is driven by the idea Democrats want rural America to go away politically,” Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said on Twitter. His colleague Marco Rubio of Florida posted a similar note, calling the Electoral College a “work of genius” that “requires candidates for president to earn votes from various parts of country. And it makes sure interests of less populated areas aren’t ignored at the expense of densely populated areas.”

President Trump weighed in as well: “With the Popular Vote, you go to just the large States — the Cities would end up running the Country. Smaller States & the entire Midwest would end up losing all power — & we can’t let that happen. I used to like the idea of the Popular Vote, but now realize the Electoral College is far better for the U.S.A.”

What is your reaction to Ms. Warren’s statement? Based on what you know right now, do you think the Electoral College is an important part of the United States election process? Why or why not?

Recently, two Times Opinion columnists have weighed in on the issue. In “Getting Rid of the Electoral College Isn’t Just About Trump,” Jamelle Bouie makes an argument for why the Electoral College should be abolished
