What effect did technology and scientific ideas have on literature and the arts?
Nataly [62]

The effect that the technology and scientific ideas have on literature and arts was that their ideas in regards of naturalism, modernism and realism has affected literature in means of which the realist authors were able to view the life of two different people such as the black and white and they were able to write the trials and struggles that they are facing. Naturalist authors in the other hand as the belief that a person does not have any control of what would happen to them or what they are destined to be and lastly, modernist focuses more on the subconscious mind.

How did the Umayyad political structure differ from the rashidun
lord [1]

   Islam spread through military conquest, trade, pilgrimage, and missionaries.

   Arab Muslim forces conquered vast territories and built imperial structures over time.

   Most of the significant expansion occurred during the reign of the Rashidun from 632 to 661 CE, which was the reign of the first four successors of Muhammad.

   The caliphate—a new Islamic political structure—evolved and became more sophisticated during the Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates.

Describe how electoral votes are allocated to the states and how they are allocated to the presidential candidates based on the
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

In America, the presidential election system is not through the direct vote of the citizenry, but through the indirect election carried out by the Electoral College. Thus, each voting citizen gives his cast to a specific candidate, but said will must be endorsed by the electors of his state in the Electoral College.

In this regard, each state has the number of voters equal to the number of congressmen it has in the federal Congress. Thus, for example, states like Montana or Alaska have 3 electors (since they have 2 senators and 1 representative), while California has 55.

The problem is that, to determine the electoral votes of each candidate, it has been established that whoever wins the popular votes in the state takes all the votes of the electors of that state (except in the case of Maine and Nebraska). For this reason, it may happen that a candidate in California defeats his opponent 50.1% to 49.9%, in what would be almost a technical tie, but takes 100% of the electoral votes. Thus, the right of citizens to the election of their representatives is violated, and a candidate who has not obtained the majority of the popular vote (as happened in 2016 with Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton) could win in the Electoral College.

Thus, many candidates adopt the strategy of campaigning and giving all their effort in the states with the largest number of voters such as California, Texas, Florida or New York, leaving aside other states considered less important.
