<em>Correct answer (assuming question was written around 2004 or 2008): </em>

B. In the 2000 presidential election, Florida had 25 electoral votes. Now it has 27 electoral votes because the census determined that the state's population had increased.

In my response, I noted the 2004 or 2008 presidential elections, because in those election cycles Florida had 27 electoral votes, determined by census numbers of the shifting balance of US population. In the 2012 and 2016 presidential elections, Florida had 29 electoral votes, as its population continued to increase relative to other states. That number will remain in place for the 2020 election. After that, the 2020 Census will determine new numbers for the Electoral College once again.

Here's what the National Archives says concerning how Electoral College delegates are assigned: <em>Electoral votes are allocated among the states based on the Census. Every state is allocated a number of votes equal to the number of senators and representatives in its U.S. Congressional delegation—two votes for its senators in the U.S. Senate plus a number of votes equal to the number of its members in the U. S. House of Representatives.</em>

So the number of electoral votes each state gets (of the 538 total electoral votes) is recalculated every ten years, based on the most recent US Census data.

Discuss the different working conditions of slaves in the antebellum south.
BaLLatris [955]
In the antebellum south, slaves did free labor. Slaves were considered property, and they were property because they were black. Their status as property was enforced by violence -- actual or threatened. Besides planting and harvesting, there were numerous other types of labor required on plantations and farms. Enslaved people had to clear new land, dig ditches, cut and haul wood, slaughter livestock, and make repairs to buildings and tools. In many instances, they worked as mechanics, blacksmiths, drivers, carpenters, and in other skilled trades. Black women carried the additional burden of caring for their families by cooking and taking care of the children, as well as spinning, weaving, and sewing.

Some slaves worked as domestics, providing services for the master's or overseer's families. These people were designated as "house servants," and though their work appeared to be easier than that of the "field slaves," in some ways it was not. They were constantly under the scrutiny of their masters and mistresses, and could be called on for service at any time. They had far less privacy than those who worked the fields.

1. What is one way that capitalism and communism are similar?
velikii [3]

Answer:

Capitalism uses democracy and “free markets” to efficiently allocate capital to its most efficient use with little regard to economic equality. Communism focuses instead on massive state run “planned” economies allocating resources equally with little regard to personal ambition or incentive.
