"The Electoral College", set out in Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, allows states to have the same power of votes in spite of their number of population.

Due to that, a party could outcast the presidential candidate they don't want, even if such candidate was elected by the majority.

The parties nominate electors, usually by a central committee or the conventions; so when voters cast their ballot for President, they are actually voting for their "State's Electors", who are not obliged to follow the results of the popular vote, thus sometimes “faithless electors” adversely choose a candidate they're not committed to.

A "faithless elector" is simply a member of the "Electoral College" who votes against the party's candidate.

Thereby the answer is (B): "It allows for faithless electors, or electors who do not vote according to the wishes of their states"

This is likely related to their other difference: the Scandinavian Peninsula has a very cold, harsh climate and the Indian Peninsula has a very hot climate.

A possible similarity is that both places have a relatively different (but still similar) culture from their neighboring countries.

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: c. how his decision will affect the rights of his employees, his consumers, and others.

Explanation: The principle of rights theory prioritizes human rights above all else. If applied to a business, it is more important than the goal to make profit and is key to the goal of the business.

Some common rights are the rights to life, freedom and equality. Because Jeff uses this principle to make ethical decisions for his business, he will consider how his decision to expand into Asia will affect his employees, his consumers and other stakeholders such as suppliers or shareholders.
