Answer:

In local elections, people vote for authorities in counties, municipalities or towns. For instance when they elect authorities such as the Sheriff, the Major, or city council members. The candidate with more votes wins the election.

The state election select the positions in the state government. People in a state election vote for the governor and the members of the legislature. In some states, people also vote for their judges.

And in the national election, people vote to elect the President of the United States. The President and Vice President run together in the election that is decided by the number of votes in the electoral college.

Answer:

he base level of government office is at the local level. Generally, this refers to the elections of a town, county, or other municipality. People elected to these offices have authority over their municipality, and that's it. It's up to each town to decide which offices are elected, but common ones include the sheriff, city council members, the mayor, and members of the school board. Local representatives are selected by a process of direct election. This simply means that the candidate with the most votes wins.

State Elections

Next are state government positions. These are important jobs with lots of power, as the United States Constitution grants any power not expressly given to the federal government to be under the authority of state governments.

Currently, every state in the USA directly elects its governor (the head of the state executive branch) as well as the representatives to the state legislature. In some states, members of the state judicial branch are elected, but generally these positions are appointed by the governor or legislature. Most other positions within the state government are appointed ones, so voters need to elect legislators and governors who will make wise appointments and fill the government with credible officials.

What do you think what happened as a result of muhammads ali agriculture reform
mariarad [96]
I think the one that happened as a result of muhammad's ali agriculture reform was :  Focusing only on a cash crop can create food shortages and famine
By using crop only for commercial value only, the food would go to wherever the money is, not the one who need it
