Democracy in America doesn't work on popular vote, rather, it works on the electoral college. This means that in states, whichever president was voted more would count as 1 vote towards that president. This means that technically, the US only has 52 votes in total. This is definetely not a fair result. We should be able to have popular vote, because, well, it's a democracy! We should be working on the interests of the majority, not the minority. However, because we have many big states, such as California, that are majorly liberal, small states won't have much say in what happens in the USA.

Why do you think the eastern half of the empire survived
KiRa [710]

Answer: Because of the organization and capable leadership of the empire.

Explanation:

Byzantium did not survive by "mere luck." Byzantium has maintained thanks to capable leaders, an organization, skilled diplomats and an excellent military organization. True, he did not possess "that splendour" as the Western Roman Empire at its height, but it is wrong to think that thanks to luck, the empire was maintained for almost a thousand years after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The great French Byzantologist and historian Charles Diehl says<em> "The Byzantine Empire was a captive of Christianity in the east, against the unbelievers it saved Europe in a few moments by its inferiority, in the Middle Ages ".</em>

What action did the NAACP take against lynching in the 1920s?
Nonamiya [84]

Hamilton's next objective was to create a Bank of the United States, modeled after the Bank of England. A national bank would collect taxes, hold government funds, and make loans to the government and borrowers. One criticism directed against the bank was "unrepublican"--it would encourage speculation and corruption. The bank was also opposed on constitutional grounds. Adopting a position known as "strict constructionism," Thomas Jefferson and James Madison charged that a national bank was unconstitutional since the Constitution did not specifically give Congress the power to create a bank.

Hamilton responded to the charge that a bank was unconstitutional by formulating the doctrine of "implied powers." He argued that Congress had the power to create a bank because the Constitution granted the federal government authority to do anything "necessary and proper" to carry out its constitutional functions (in this case its fiscal duties).

In 1791, Congress passed a bill creating a national bank for a term of 20 years, leaving the question of the bank's constitutionality up to President Washington. The president reluctantly decided to sign the measure out of a conviction that a bank was necessary for the nation's financial well-being.
