Answer:

The number of a state's electoral votes could change if the state population has a major change compared to other states.

Explanation:

The United States Electoral College is the electoral body that chooses the President of the United States at the end of each US presidential election.

The American Electoral College was established by Article 2, Section 1 of the United States Constitution. The college meets every four years with "large voters" (delegates who are elected by the "small voters" who are ordinary citizens) from each state.

Each state has the right to a certain number of delegates in the electoral college, a number that varies according to their representatives and senators in Congress. Therefore, if in the House of Representatives a State loses members due to a percentage decrease in its population, it will also lose voters in the Electoral College.

The delegates of this college elect the president of the country. There are a total of 538 votes in the electoral college. A candidate wins the presidential election if he has at least 270 collegiate votes - even if he has a lower total popular vote than another competing candidate (as happened on five occasions: John Quincy Adams in 1824, Rutherford B. Hayes in 1876, Benjamin Harrison in 1888, George W. Bush in 2000 and Donald Trump in 2016).

Answer:

Unconscious information processing

Explanation:

When an unconscious prototype occurs, it occurs due to automatic processing in the brain. It occurs without any initiation from the side of the intention. It occurs automatically. The theory of automatically occur independently. Many tasks are cue dependent and others are context-dependent. So in many tasks, we are not aware of the environment and automatically we completed tasks. For example, riding a bicycle, driving a car, these are the example of automatic unconscious information processing.

Answer: D) groupthink

Explanation:

Groupthink refers to a situation in which a group of people come together and make decision without thinking of the effect or outcome. People in the group collectively reach general agreement by giving optimum importance to the opinion and view of the group instead of individual’s opinion and view. It usually happens when groups have limited time to make decision and as a result they resolve to general opinion of the group. Thus, this is done in order to keep the unity and peace of the group.
