Many countries used to rely on an electoral college in order to get public officials elected, however, this system has been criticized for it has been perceived of as unfair in the event of a slight majority in an electoral district overruling the votes of a great number of citizens. At a first glance, it seems to run counter to the intuitive concept of democracy, i.e., the government elected by the majorities. IN the history of the U.S. there have been two or three presidential elections won by the candidate holding the majority of the electoral colleges yet failing to obtain the absolute majority of votes.

A solution often proposed to change this is the system of direct election. Under this system, candidates running for public office can only win provided that they manage to get the absolute majority of votes cast. Statistics on the number of votes per candidate and vote ratios are usually made for informational purposes, however, they are irrelevant to determine the final outcome.

Http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/british-zulu-war-begins The British-Zulu War begins as British troops under Lieutenant General Frederic Augustus invade Zululand from the southern African republic of Natal. In 1843, Britain succeeded the Boers as the rulers of Natal, which controlled Zululand, the neighboring kingdom of the Zulu people. Boers, also known as Afrikaners, were the descendants of the original Dutch settlers who came to South Africa in the 17th century. Zulus, a migrant people from the north, also came to southern Africa during the 17th century, settling around the Tugela River region.

Those who opposed giving the federal government more power than the states were known as the "Anti-Federalists", since they did not want to ratify the Constitution, which would have done this.

Did the Industrial Revolution bring about more changes than the Age of Democratic Revolutions.
kap26 [50]
Hello Emarkley! 

<span>“The term ‘industrial revolution’ refers to the shift of an economy from one in which most of its production is agriculturally based to one based on the mechanized manufacturing of goods in large-scale enterprises.”
</span>

This causes:

–         increased productivity and per capita incomes

–         the movement of people from rural to urban areas

–         substation of machine power for human labor in many kinds of work

The first industrial revolution began in England in the mid to late 1700s.  Signs of industrialization were evident in New England beginning in the early 1800s but dramatic shifts did not occur until after the civil war.

Three major causes for the shift in the U.S.:

–         development and improvement of coal-powered steam engines (1769), which was more powerful than former power sources being humans, wood and water

–         mechanized ways to produce textiles

–         coal powered furnaces that mass produced iron

The industrial revolution created a new class – the capitalists – the owners of the factory plants and other physical means of industrial production.  Also creating a new class of industrial workers who were employed at these factories.

The industrial revolution took major roots during and post Civil War.  “Congress in the 1860s enacted a series of legislative measure that encouraged industrialization and economic development, including new protective tariffs, banking reforms, and support for a transcontinental railroad.”  Additionally, demands from the war stimulated the growth of industries to produce war time products.  (18)

Post civil war was more of a 2nd Industrial Revolution.  Two major developments spurred this change:

<span>completion of national transportation and communications networks (canals, roads, steamships and railroads, telegraph, telephone) including the construction of a nationwide railroad networkuse of electricity as a source of power (major asset to urbanization)</span>

Between 1860 and 1916 the percentage of city dwellers jumped from 10% to 50%

“Rapid industrialization raised the question of whether America’s republican ideals could survive in a meaningful way, whether industrial growth contributed positively or negatively to American’s society, and whether political and economic institutions needed to be reformed in response to the changes sweeping America’s economy.” (21)

Pros:

–         labor saving devices

–         more consumer goods

–         skyscrapers

–         declinging prices in industrial products

–         opportunity for workers and capitalists

–         growing population

–         increased average life expectancy

–         trend toward lower working hours
