Answer:

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact will guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The Compact ensures that every vote, in every state, will matter in every presidential election. The Compact is a state-based approach that preserves the Electoral College, state control of elections, and the power of the states to control how the President is elected.

The National Popular Vote bill has been enacted by 16 jurisdictions possessing 196 electoral votes, including 4 small states (DE, HI, RI, VT), 8 medium-sized states (CO, CT, MD, MA, NJ, NM, OR, WA), 3 big states (CA, IL, NY), and the District of Columbia. The bill will take effect when enacted by states with 74 more electoral votes.  The bill has passed at least one chamber in 9 additional states with 88 more electoral votes (AR, AZ, ME, MI, MN, NC, NV, OK, VA).  A total of 3,408 state legislators from all 50 states have endorsed it.

The shortcomings of the current system of electing the President stem from “winner-take-all” laws that have been enacted by state legislatures in 48 states. These laws award all of a state’s electoral votes to the candidate receiving the most popular votes in each state.

Because of these state winner-take-all statutes, presidential candidates have no reason to pay attention to the issues of concern to voters in states where the statewide outcome is a foregone conclusion. In 2012, as shown on the map, all of the  253 general-election campaign events were in just 12 states, and two-thirds were in just 4 states (Ohio, Florida, Virginia, and Iowa). Thirty-eight states were completely ignored.

Both Georgia state senators and representatives serve for ---- years.<br>1<br>2<br>3 or 4​
Reil [10]

Both Georgia state senators and representatives serve for <u> 2 </u>years.

<u>Option: B</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the American culture of separation of powers, the Georgia State Constitution splits its system of governance into three autonomous divisions-the Legislative, Judicial, and Executive-and states that they will stay separate and distinct eternally.

The General Assembly of Georgia is the state legislative branch, which is composed of a Senate and a House of Representatives. Georgia's Law demands a Senator and representatives to be at minimum 25 years, an American citizen, for minimum two years, a Georgian citizen as well as a Senatorial District resident for minimum one year right away preceding election.
