In the 2000 election in the United States, the winner of the presidential election actually lost the popular vote, which illustrates an issue with electoral college in that it does not always represent the will of the majority of Americans. 

Explanation:

The applicant who receives the most votes universal is said to have won the democratic vote. But the champion of the popular vote may finish up wasting the election like Al Gore did in 2000 and Hillary Clinton in 2016.

On 12 December 2000, the United States Supreme Court published its ruling in Bush v. Gore, finally beginning the presidential election of 2000 to an end. By a 5-4 vote, this Court overthrew a Florida State Supreme Court ruling, requiring that the recount of "under-votes" in the state of Florida cease. The election results, declared and published a month earlier, would, therefore, stand, giving Republican George Bush a victory in Florida, all 25 of its Electoral College votes, and a 271-266 national victory over Democrat Al Gore for the administration of the United States.

Issue of electrotate college:

It creates the opportunity for the loser of the popular vote to win the electoral vote. This is more than a technical opportunity. It twists the presidential campaign, as alluded to yesterday, by incentivizing the parties to sign off the more than 40 states.

How did the ideas the enlightenment influence colosist in the american like benjamin franklin and thomas jefferson
zvonat [6]

Answer:

The ideas of the Enlightenment influenced American colonists like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson because they read the works of Enlightenment thinkers and adopted similar views on politics and society. Political philosophers of the Enlightenment believed that using reason will guide us to the best ways to operate in order to create the most beneficial conditions for society.  This included a conviction that all human beings have certain natural rights which are to be protected and preserved.    The Enlightenment ideal was that individual freedom and equal rights and opportunity for all would be promoted and protected.  Each individual's well-being (life, health, liberty, possessions) should be served by the way government and society are arranged.   The American founding fathers accepted these Enlightenment views and acted on them.

Further detail / example:

John Locke, in his Second Treatise on Civil Government (1690), had expressed the idea of natural rights in the words that follow.  Notice the similarities to what was later stated in the American colonists' <em>Declaration of Independence</em> (1776).

  • <em>The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, which obliges every one: and reason, which is that law, teaches all mankind, who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions… (and) when his own preservation comes not in competition, ought he, as much as he can, to preserve the rest of mankind, and may not, unless it be to do justice on an offender, take away, or impair the life, or what tends to the preservation of the life, the liberty, health, limb, or goods of another.</em>
