7 0

Conventionally, each state receives in the electoral collage THE NUMBER OF ELECTOR THAT IS EQUAL TO THE TOTAL NUMBER OF SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES IT HAS.
An exception is Washington DC, which always has the same number of electors as that of the state that has the least population of people in US.

Correct answer: The number of electors each state gets equals the total number of members it has in Congress.

Explanation/detail:

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.

What does a centrally planned economy oppose that a market economy encourages?

zubka84 [21]

A centrally planned economy opposes individual choice in comparison to a market economy.

In a centrally planned economy, a government entity decides how resources within a society will be distributed. For example, in a perfect centrally planned society, all families with 4 members in the household would receive the exact same products.

However, in a market economy, individuals make decisions for themselves regarding what resources they want/need to purchase. This market economy is based more on the capital (money) that individuals possess.
