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.

The idea that the oldest rock will always be the bottom layer of a series of rock layers is called the principle of _.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The idea that the oldest rock will always be the bottom layer of a series of rock layers is called the principle of superposition.

Explanation:

According to the law or principle of superposition, the sequence of layers of sedimentary rock go from the oldest, at the bottom, to the youngest, at the top. Sedimentary rock is formed when pieces of rock and even of living organisms - once they die, of course - are deposited on a surface. As time passes, new pieces are deposited on top of the older pieces. That process happens again and again until we have different layers of sedimentary rock, the first one being the oldest, that is, the one that was first deposited there.

Research the major news sources on the Internet and choose one topic that is causing problems for Americans across the country.
Alexxandr [17]

<span>   Judith Miller was a reporter for the New York Times who wrote an article claiming that Iraq has nukes. The government used Miller’s article to justify going to “war” (not really a war when it’s just one side killing another).  She claimed that Iraq is going to use the nuclear weapons to hurt the American people, which made people, and rightfully so, fear for their safety. After the US started the war (and got all the oil they needed), they revealed that Iraq had no nuclear weapons, after all. The reporter, Judith Miller was put in jail for a short while afterwards for not revealing her sources when she published the article; today, she is blamed by many people to be part of the cause of the Iraq war.</span>

<span> People are continuously suggesting that the US finally leaves Iraq today, however that has not yet happened. A lot of people are in favor of the US leaving Iraq because enough is enough and the war going on there hasn't been doing anyone any good. The US has been losing a lot of money on the military spending and there has been a lot of loss of life on the Iraqi side, so it's not benefiting any side. Other people that oppose the US leaving Iraq mostly do it privately because they want to continue stealing Iraqi oil or because they genuinely believe that Iraq is still a threat. </span>
