The biggest criticism of the electoral college is that the system is inherently oligarchic. The system is set up so that the Electorates (those who vote for the president) can be essentially anyone. This is what makes up a Representative Republic and not a Direct Democracy. In our republic, we choose who gets to vote for our president, in other words, you chose a representative. In a direct democracy, you chose for your president directly

The primary criticism comes from proponents of direct democracy. The electoral college is an all or nothing system in the majority of states. For example, if yo are one of the 14+ million republican voters in California your vote means nothing as all the electoral votes - even though 33%~ should be representing their vote, is not. All 55 electoral votes go to the democratic candidate.

Select the true statement about standards for weights and measures

kotegsom [21]

One of the true statement would be: A pound of flour from the Fluffy Flour Company will be the same weight as a pound of flour from another company.

Standard of measurement is a form of measurement that would be acceptable and had an exact same value no matter where the measurement is taken.
Another example would be on fighter's weigh in.
No matter which country the fighter came from, they stil use the same KG or Lbs measurement for the weight class.
