Answer:

C. It was a compromise between big and small states so that states with a larger population cannot control presidential elections

Explanation:

Durign its earlier creation, small states believed that there is no point for them to be uniting under one federal government. This perception was created because they typically have lower population compared to the bigger states.

Meaning that if smaller states and bigger states conduct a vote to elect a government that rule all of them, smaller states will always lose if the result is determined by simple majority.

As a compromise, electoral college was created. Rather than basing the total number of votes based on the number of population, The election in the electoral college is based on the amount of people that each state has within the The Senate and House of Representatives.

This provide an opportunity for smaller states to over the big states during the general election.

Education is the first and foremost condition of development. Do you agree or disagree?Give as many reasons as you can in suppor

Naily [24]

Answer:

Education is the result of the educational process that implies preparation to transform a reality from the knowledge, skills, values and abilities that are acquired at each stage and throughout life. Development is achieved through the education of critical and creative people who generate new knowledge and respond from a historical-cultural perspective to present and future problems, transforming and enriching society.

Explanation:

The progress of humanity largely depends on education. Educating is a process and as such implies the idea of advancement and progress. The education of individuals implies the end achieved, that is, we speak of social action (educating) on individuals (social beings), enabling them (capacity development) to understand their reality and transform it in a conscious, balanced and efficient way so that they can act as socially responsible people. Education therefore implies the idea of optimization; that is to say, whoever tries to educate others (heteroeducation) or who tries to educate herself/himself (self-education) assumes the idea of the improvement of the social individual, therefore this constitutes a function of society.
