What is the fewest number of states a candidate needs to win to become president

History
1 answer:
djverab [1.8K]3 years ago
3 0

Assuming no faithless electors: eleven. These are the states with the most electoral votes:

California (55 votes)
Texas (38 votes)
Florida (29 votes)
New York (29 votes)
Illinois (20 votes)
Pennsylvania (20 votes)
Ohio (18 votes)
Georgia (16 votes)
Michigan (16 votes)
North Carolina (15 votes)
New Jersey (14 votes)

If somebody managed to win those 11 states and no others, that person would have a majority in the electoral college and win the presidency.

Realistically, though, this won’t happen. California, New York, Illinois and New Jersey are heavily Democratic and won’t vote Republican unless there’s a huge landslide that would mean a lot of states that are normally reliably Democratic would vote Republican. Texas and Georgia are reliably Republican

This system is distinguished from others because it has a chief executive (the president) who is chosen by the people to serve a limited term in office with a distinct separation of powers (the executive branch) as well as specific limitations on exactly what he/she can do while in office.

How did James watt contribute to the industrial revolution
bulgar [2K]

Watt aided the Industrial Revolution even more when he discovered a way to make a steam engine turn in circles. This made it possible to use steam engines for purposes other than pumping water out of coal mines. As a result, Watt aided the Industrial Revolution by making steam power far more useful for driving machinery.

In clearer terms, James Watt aided the Industrial Revolution by improving the Newcomen steam engine, resulting in a new, more efficient engine.

Hope this helps and if it does, don't be afraid to give my answer a "Thanks" and maybe a Brainliest if it's correct?

Why was the Congress of Vienna considered a success?
Mama L [17]
The Congress of Vienna was considered a success because it was the first time in history that on a continental scale national representatives came together to formulate treaties, instead of relying mostly on messages from the several capitals. The Congress of Vienna was a conference headed by the monarchs of Austria and it was to provide a long-term peace plan for the superpowers of Europe and to have stability in Europe.
