Answer:

The citizen vote is not useless, but the electoral system affects it too much. Therefore, although I do not agree with the statement, some issues need to be clarified.

Given the federal character of the United States and its electoral system, the presidential vote is defined in an institution called the Electoral College, where the states have votes based on their representation in Congress.

Now, each state grants the totality of its votes to the winner (except Nebraska and Maine, which divide their votes), with which, for example, if in the popular vote of the state of Florida the result is from 50.5% to 49.5% in favor of the republicans, the 29 electoral votes will go to the republican party. Therefore, the popular vote is not faithfully reflected in the final result.

This situation has meant that on several occasions the president-elect has not been the most voted by the population, as happened in 2016 with Hillary Clinton, who despite having obtained more votes, lost to Donald Trump.

Therefore, the citizen vote is less important than it should be, because although it is important, the electoral mechanisms of the country take away its role.

This situation does not occur in the case of votes for Congress, where positions are defined through the popular vote, so in this case citizen participation becomes more important.

In the era of the French Revolution, France faced many of the same issues as those faced by the colonies in the American Revolut

Tresset [83]

The correct answer is: "tyrannical monarchies in power".

<u>Both the French Revolution and the American Revolution were influenced by the principles of the Enlightment.</u>

The Enlighment movement emerged in Europe in the 18th century and it was constituted by philosophers that promoted Reason and the scientific method over medieval superstition and religious dogmas, and the establishment of democratic societies where the power resided on its people, and <u>not in absolute monarchs or rulers "appointed by God"</u>. The resulting states that emerged based on the principles of this movement, enacted bills of civil rights for the first time in history, and implemented principles such as the division of powers or the social contract, through which citizens elected their governors by suffrage.

Such Enlightment principles were transferred to the American colonies, where the population claimed for political representation rather than being governed by foreigners that were appointed by a foreign king. Such claims were ignored and the colonies, influenced by the new democratic principles, started several revolutionary movements for independence aiming to establish new independent states based on the Enlightment principles like in Europe.

Your answer is A: a date

BCE (Before Common Era) and BC (Before Christ) mean the same thing- previous to year 1 CE (Common Era). This is the same as the year AD 1 (Anno Domini); the latter means “in the year of the lord,” often translated as “in the year of our lord.”
