Answer:

C. to extend royal authority throughout France.

Explanation:

At the death of Mazarin, in 1661, Louis XIV began his personal government that lasted 54 years (until his death in 1715). He did not want to leave the function of governing in the hands of another person, and exercised power directly, personally calling the ministers, intervening in all matters that he considered important and controlling, through the intendants, the entire French territory.

Louis XIV was fully convinced of the divine origin of his power, something that everyone recognized without daring to deny it. Since childhood he had been repeated that he was almost a god, a "visible divinity", a man different from others, because he was King "by the grace of God" and only before him should he be held accountable. No man could judge the king and nothing was alien to him. Luis XIV took as a emblem of his reign a shining sun and hence the nickname with which he is known as "the Sun King".

Describe how electoral votes are allocated to the states and how they are allocated to the presidential candidates based on the
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

In America, the presidential election system is not through the direct vote of the citizenry, but through the indirect election carried out by the Electoral College. Thus, each voting citizen gives his cast to a specific candidate, but said will must be endorsed by the electors of his state in the Electoral College.

In this regard, each state has the number of voters equal to the number of congressmen it has in the federal Congress. Thus, for example, states like Montana or Alaska have 3 electors (since they have 2 senators and 1 representative), while California has 55.

The problem is that, to determine the electoral votes of each candidate, it has been established that whoever wins the popular votes in the state takes all the votes of the electors of that state (except in the case of Maine and Nebraska). For this reason, it may happen that a candidate in California defeats his opponent 50.1% to 49.9%, in what would be almost a technical tie, but takes 100% of the electoral votes. Thus, the right of citizens to the election of their representatives is violated, and a candidate who has not obtained the majority of the popular vote (as happened in 2016 with Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton) could win in the Electoral College.

Thus, many candidates adopt the strategy of campaigning and giving all their effort in the states with the largest number of voters such as California, Texas, Florida or New York, leaving aside other states considered less important.

10. What splits the Eastern plateau?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer: Mountains (IF THIS IS AFRICA)

Explanation: . It is subdivided into a number of zones running north and south and consisting in turn of mountain ranges, tablelands and hollows. The most striking feature is the existence of two great lines of hollows, due largely to the subsidence of whole segments of the Earth's crust, the lowest parts of which are occupied by vast lakes. Towards the south the two lines converge and give place to one great valley (occupied by Lake Nyasa, or Lake Malawi), the southern part of which is less distinct due to rifting and subsidence than the rest of the system.
