Answer:

Two states that gained electoral votes from the 2008 presidential election to the 2012 election:

  • Texas 34 Electoral votes in 2008, 38 EV in 2012
  • Texas pop in 2000: 28.8 million. Texas pop in 2010: 25.1 million.
  • Florida 27 EV in 2008, 29 EV in 2012
  • Florida pop in 2000: 15.9 million. Florida pop in 2010: 18.8 million

Two states that lost electoral votes:

  • New York 31 Electoral votes in 2008, 29 EV in 2012
  • New York pop in 2000: 18,9 million. New York pop in 2010: 19,3 million
  • Michigan 17 EV in 2008, 16 EV in 2012
  • Michigan pop in 2000: 9,9 million. Michigan pop in 2010: 9,8 million.

Explanation:

Texas and Florida gained 4 and 2 electoral votes respectively because their populations grew around 20%.

New York and Michigan both lost 2 and 1 electoral votes respectively. In the case of New York, there was not a loss in population, but very littel increase, and this made New York lose population size as percentage of the total population of the US. In the case of Michigan, the loss of one electoral vote corresponded with a population loss of around 100,000 people.

Answer:

There are a few states that lost or gained electoral votes between 2000 and 2010. Some states lost votes: Michigan went from 17 electoral votes to 16, New York went from 31 to 29, and Ohio went from 20 to 18. Other states gained votes: Texas increased from 34 to 38 votes, Florida increased from 27 to 29, and Oregon increased from 11 to 12. With the exception of Oregon, these numbers indicate that the population is shifting from north to south. This is especially apparent with the huge increase in Texas’s electoral votes.

Option: (C)

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Due to this law, the expansion of the country was well defined and a systemic and legal process was set for this process.

Answer and Explanation:

The New Deal was a series of economic and social programs that were implemented as a strategy to break the economic problems that caused and resulted from the great depression and prepare the country for a strong economic recovery. This measure was implemented by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

TVA, meaning Tennessee Valley Authority, was one of the New Deal programs and aimed to open jobs and implement rural Tennessee River Valley with electricity, which would allow greater production of products and services to be established, in addition to allowing the automation of rural production.

CCC refers to Civilian Conservation Corps. This was also a New Deal program and aimed to reduce unemployment in urban areas of the country, especially for young single people who could be a strong workforce.

FDIC was an American company that worked together with the New Deal. The purpose of this company was to get the American people back to trust commercial banks. This objective was achieved when this company allowed the provision of deposit insurance to commercial banks and savings banks in the country.
