Why did the founders settle on the electoral college system for selection of the President of the United States? Could they have
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The electoral college system was the best solution they chose to democratically elect a president in a way that was both consistent with republican values and with the protections of rights of smaller states.

Explanation:

The Constitution and the new laws in the United States were revolutionary and pioneering by the end of the 18th century. The Founding Fathers could not look at a previous democratic model to find inspiration, because autocracy was the system of government anywhere else. One of the great dilemmas of democracy is how to avoid the tyranny of majorities over minorities. Could they have thought of a better system then? Maybe it was possible in theory, but it was very hard in practice. Besides, the population of the fomer colonies wasn´t as large as it´s today, and there were only 13 states, not 50. They could hardly have envision some outcomes we´ve seen in recent years when some candidates have won the popular vote, but have failed to win key states and electoral votes. They chose what they saw as the best option.

Which development occurred in Germany as a resultof the terms imposed by the Treaty of Versailles?
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Option: (2) political instability

Explanation:

Treaty of Versailles became famously for two reasons, firstly for ending World War I and secondly by imposing on Germans to pay the price of the war. Germans punished under the treaty as military capabilities restricted with minimum arms and ammunition with no airships. Germans forced to give enormous reparations to the Allies (Britain, France and America). The treaty also required the surrender of territories of Germany. All this led to instability in the country with economic depression and political instability which allowed Hitler to come into power by promising a stable situation with a rising economy and pride.
