Hello!

The electoral college consists of 538 electors who are distributed throughout the states. The amount of electors that an American state has depends on the state's population. A larger population has more electors to represent the state, whereas a state with a smaller population has less electors.

In the past, many people were fairly politically uninformed. Due to this, the electoral college was established to represent the general public, and the electors were required to make the most beneficial presidential decision for their state. 
The electoral college continues to represent the American public in presidential elections today. The electors often vote based on their state's citizens' presidential preference. However, sometimes the electors strongly believe in a different candidate and cast their votes towards him/her.
The official purpose of the electoral college is to represent their state in presidential elections, which determines the President of the United States and the Vice President. 

I hope this helps answer your question!

The Roman Empire was governed by an autocracy (government by one person) centered on the position of the emperor. The Senate, the dominant political institution of the Roman Republic, which preceded the empire, was retained by the emperor but lacked real political power. The hallmark of the Roman Empire was its extensive system of imperial administration, which included a hierarchy of magistrates and provincial governors.

Identifying Central Issues Why do you think the clause in the
koban [17]

Answer:

The Factory Acts were a series of laws that were passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom in the nineteenth century. These laws attempted to regulate the employment of children and women in factories. With time, many of its rules came to apply to all workers, such as the ten-hour work day.

One of the clauses of this act was the fact that an employer could not be penalized more than once for the same infraction. The most likely reason for this was that the government wanted to avoid damaging factories excessively. Moreover, it is likely that if a worker had a complaint, all workers shared it, as it was most likely a result of company policy.
