electoral college vote is the amount of votes a state receives. so when you vote you vote for president a or president b.

if you vote for b and the majority of your state votes for a all of the electoral college votes go towards president a. each state has a certain amount of votes depending on the population of your state.

the pro are that you vote as a state

the cons are it doesnt really seem like democracy since its the"states" that are voting not the people. so there is 51 states and the president who wins certain states with the big numbers "electoral votes" will win the election.

its a way to simplify votes.

How can we explain how the U.S. government and state governments could endorse institutional racism?Or Why do you think this was
Furkat [3]

The question is about the United States but about it's legislative process. As with every legislature, the representatives are made up of people. When the majority of the people in the house of representatives tilt in one direction, it becomes the decision of the whole. this is why it appears as though the US endorsed or institutionalized racism.

<h3>Why was Institutionalized racism allowed to happen?</h3>

One of the laws in the History of US that speaks to the above is Jim Crows law. This law favored racial segregation and empowered law enforcement agencies to enforce it.

The reason it was put in place is already indicated in the first paragraph. It is to be noted however that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and The Voting Rights Act of 1965 overturned Jim Crows laws.

Sam's two new aquariums each hold exactly 200 gallons of water.One aquarium will hold small fish and the other will hold large f
stiv31 [10]
Aquarium 1 will hold 5 small fish for every 10 gallons of water. If there are 200 gallons in the tank, you can sent up a proportion:
5 small fish/10 gallons = x small fish/ 200 gallons
if you cross multiply, you get 
10x = 200 × 5
10x = 1000
x = 100 
100 small fish will be in 200 gallons of water. 

Aquarium 2 will hold 8 large fish for every 40 gallons of water. A proportion can also be set up here: 
8 large fish/ 40 gallons = x large fish/ 200 gallons
if you cross multiply, you get: 
40x = 200 × 8 
40x = 1600
x = 40 
40 large fish will be in 200 gallons of water. 

the ratio of small fish to large fish:
100 small fish: 40 large fish
(both are divisible for 10, and if you divide both of them by ten you get)
10 small fish: 4 large fish
you can reduce again, since both are divisble by 2
5 small fish: 2 large fish
