Here are some notes I took in civics last year:

Electoral College

  • Hated the idea of common people to vote for president (WAMPS)
  • An established compromise.
  • Allow them to have a voice.

Why was it created?

  • People then were uneducated.
  • Was a check to give a state a voice.
  • Maintain regional balance.

Never anticipated a thought of political parties.

Messed up the thought of electoral colleges.

There was other ways people thought we could vote for president.

Made to differ from state and federal differences.

It’s a process, in which we vote for who we want, we tell the electors to vote for that “person”  

1787, electoral college electors are chosen by the state legislature

Now, we vote for our electors.

  • 34 states do voting
  • 10 states party decides
  • Remaining states choose them by governments

Qualification, can’t hold office.

Second Wednesday in December they vote as a unit.

  • Vote separately for president and vice president
  • Winner take all system
  • Not required to vote for the candidates they represents.

Now the Winner take all system is a big one you should definitely talk about: the District of Columbia and 48 states have a winner-takes-all rule for the Electoral College. In these States, whichever candidate receives a majority of the popular vote, or a plurality of the popular vote (less than 50 percent but more than any other candidate), takes all of the state's Electoral votes.

    "The “winner-takes-all” electoral system: As background for the non-Americans, the US has an indirect Presidential election system where each state has a number of electoral votes. ... Basically, whichever candidate wins the majority of the popular vote, gets all the electoral college votes"

The culture of India or Indian culture, sometimes equated to Indian civilization, is the heritage of social norms, ethical values, traditional customs, belief systems, political systems, artifacts and technologies that originated in or are associated with the Indian subcontinent. The term also applies beyond India to countries and cultures whose histories are strongly connected to India by immigration, colonization, or influence, particularly in Southeast Asia. India's languages, religions, dance, music, architecture, food and customs differ from place to place within the country.

Indian culture, often labelled as an amalgamation of several cultures, has been influenced by a history that is several millennia old, beginning with the Indus Valley Civilization.Many elements of Indian culture, such as Indian religions, mathematics, philosophy, cuisine, languages, dance, music and movies have had a profound impact across the Indosphere, Greater India and the world.
