Why is the Electoral College considered "51 separate elections" instead of one national election?

History
1 answer:
Irina18 [472]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Because each person does not actually vote for a president. When we vote for a candidate we are actually voting for a group of electors, to elect our president off of each states popular vote excluding Maine which does proportional voting.

Explanation:

Let's say you live in Kansas and electoral votes are based off of number of Congressmen/women which totals 6 2 senators and 4 reps which equals 6 electoral votes. A person voting in this state is voting either for 6 republican electors or democratic electors. When you vote for a candidate if that state goes republican those 6 GOP electors vote for the nominee that the state won. Washington D.C gets three electors even though it is not a state. So each state holds a separate elections since we all are voting for electors of the party you vote for. As well as D.C which that right was given to them in the 70s.

How did even northern states limit the freedoms of blacks even as they decried the expansion of slavery?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer: Passing laws that limited the movement and freedom of blacks

Explanation:

Even though the whites in the Northern territories viewed slavery as a moral wrong and a stain on the moral fibre of the United States, they did not believe that Black people should be entitled to the same rights as them.

To keep blacks at a certain social level and to limit the amount of blacks in their territories, some states passed laws that restricted the movements of blacks.

States like California and Kansas did it subtly while states like Iowa, Illinois and Indiana banned blacks entirely from their states.
