The rapid expansion of the railroads in the late 1800´s was encouraged by the goverment through land grants from the federal Government. On receiving these public lands the railroad companies were able to construct the railroads on such land, leaving a surplus of land that they could sell, which financed construction itself.

I will completely change the voting system with no doubt because there is no doubt in eliminates it. I'm 18, and in my short life, I have also seen a three basic right in elections, in which the national election was managed to win by the selected candidate.

The peoples voting by their will in the elections, in which the common election was lost and a presidential candidate was appointed. This same electoral college can, by its free will, oppose the person's, in which people will appoint a nonethical president, especially unethical in a country that values the freedom to vote and to change so enormously.
