Describe how single member districts discourage minor parties

History
1 answer:
Nata [24]3 years ago
8 0
The existence of single-member districts discourages the creation of minor parties because the party that receives the most votes secures the office. In other words, the winner gets everything, and other parties have nothing to show for their efforts. If, by way of illustration, the Green Party fielded candidates in all 435 House races and received 20 percent of the vote in each district, it would not win any seats at all. In a system with proportional representation, seats in the legislature are allocated according to the party's share of the popular vote. Thus, minor parties are rewarded for fielding candidates in elections because their efforts result in at least a modicum of representation in the legislative branch.

9. What was the role of African men in WWI, WWII and Vietnam?
muminat
WWl

More than 350,000 African Americans served in segregated units during World War I, mostly as support troops. Several units saw action alongside French soldiers fighting against the Germans, and 171 African Americans were awarded the French Legion of Honor.
WWII

Despite a high enlistment rate in the U.S. Army, African Americans were not treated equally. At parades, church services, in transportation and canteens the races were kept separate. A quota of only 48 nurses was set for African-American women, and the women were segregated from white nurses and white soldiers for much of the war. Eventually more black nurses enlisted. They were assigned to care for black soldiers. Black nurses were integrated into everyday life with their white colleagues. The first African-American woman sworn into the Navy Nurse Corps was Phyllis Mae Dailey, a Columbia University student from New York. She was the first of only four African-American women to serve as a Navy nurse during World War II.

Both the British and the Americans frequently used horseback riders to carry messages, and both sides tried to capture the rider
mars1129 [50]

Answer: Losing secret papers to the enemy could have serious consequences.

Explanation:

The central idea here is that when secret papers are lost to the enemy, they could have serious consequences. This is why the both the British and the Americans tried to capture riders conveying messages for the other side so that they could get the messages.

If these messages were found, they could help in the war effort by implicating spies such as George Higday who would be put to death should evidence be found of their treachery. This would be good for the side that was being spied on as less information would be leaked and bad for the other side as they will have less information to act on.

What was the leader of the persian empire that was impressed by alexander and why is he important?* quizlit?
CaHeK987 [17]
I'm not sure of his name, but it might have been Darius. If you want more info, search 'Gordian Knot'. There was supposedly a prophecy at the time stating that whoever could untie this immensely complicated knot that tied the king's horse yolk to his chariot would rule over Persia. When Alexander saw the knot he sliced it in two with his sword instead of trying to untie it. I'm pretty sure Darius (or whatever his name was)

Which of these put stress on public services offered in American cities during the late 19th century and early 20th century?
bogdanovich [222]

The situation that caused stress on public services offered in American cities during the late 19th century and early 20th century was: Migration from farms to cities.

Migration from farms to cities massively increased the number of population that should be eligible to obtain government benefits in that area destination. This lead to an increase of work load for government workers in that period and caused stress on public services offered by the cities.
