States with a greater population send more electors to the electoral college - this statement best indicates how the Electoral College benefits small states most.
<h3>What is Electoral College?</h3>
The United States Electoral College is the group of presidential electors required by the Constitution to form every four years for the sole purpose of appointing the president and vice president. The Electoral College does give disproportionate mathematical weight to small states. But its goofy structure means almost all of them are ignored in presidential politics. Almost every state gives all of its electoral votes to whoever wins the state allowing candidates to take the votes of strongly partisan states for granted. Indeed, it's actively foolish to campaign where you are guaranteed to win or lose only the swing states matter.
The correct answer is option D.

<h3>Can a state override a federal law?</h3>
The Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution is Article VI, Paragraph 2 of the U.S. Constitution.
The Supremacy Clause means that the federal constitution and laws take precedence over state laws and constitutions.
<h3>Answer Options:</h3>
A. Nevada doesn’t have the authority to override federal law. Federal law stands supreme. Yet, the force of widespread public acceptance and general use of marijuana has made it difficult to enforce federal law. We also saw this effect during Prohibition in the 1920s – which showed that even constitutional law has limits if a substantial part of the population does not support that law.
B. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has the statutory authority to allow exceptions to federal drug laws.
C. States have precedence over federal authorities on matters of recreational drug use.
D. The executive authority of the governor of Nevada makes such laws exceptions to federal prohibitions. By virtue of signing the legislation making marijuana legal, Governor Brian Sandoval’s executive authority gave pot’s legal possession precedence over federal law.
Thus, the basis on which Nevada had the authority to <u>override a federal law</u> is <u>Option A</u>. ... widespread public acceptance and general use of marijuana has made it difficult to enforce federal law.
