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.

Typical rates of sea-floor spreading are approximately _____. 50 centimeters per year 5 centimeters per year 5 kilometers per ye
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

5 centimeters

Explanation:

The seafloor is spreading at rates of around 5 cm usually, though it can go up to 16 cm per year but rarely. The seafloor spreading is caused by the geological activity at the places where there's divergent plate boundaries. As the plates move away from one another they leave thin and fragile crust behind which is easy to break through for the magma. As the magma gets through and reaches the water, it starts to cool off very quickly, constantly pulling up and creating new crust, pushing the old crust sideways and further away from the divergent boundary.

What did the Treaty of New York, Treaty of Fort Jackson, and Treaty of Indian Springs have in common? The Creeks gave up land in
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The Creeks gave up land in exchange for money and protection, but the US government did little to stop settlers from pushing west.

Explanation:

The fight for land and belonging has been a constant source of discontentment between the Native Indians and the American government. The Creeks were one such native people who, like every other Native Indian, had to suffer at the hands of the United States government and try to find peaceful ways for them to have their own reservations.

But while there are numerous wars fought between the two, there are also numerous treaties signed to try to maintain peace and cordial relations. The <u>Treaty of New York (1790), the Treaty of Fort Jackson (1814), and the Treaty of Indian Springs (1825)</u> were some of the treaties signed between the two parties. And<u> one common factor of these treaties is that the Creeks were made to cede their lands in exchange for some money and protection from the government</u>. But while the Native Indians kept their part of the agreement, the<u> U. S. Government did not do much to keep their part and did not stop the flow of settlers</u> in the areas of the Native Indians.
