Why did the framers of the Constitution decide against a system that directly elected the president by popular vote?

1 answer:

5 0

Framers had their blind spots. I won’t mention slavery for the moment, since that’s where everyone goes and since that blot has been amended out of the Constitution (and since many of the Framers, notably Ben Franklin and Alexander Hamilton, were anti-slavery).

One of the big blind spots, which seriously interfered with their thinking on many constitutional matters, is that they believed it would be possible to have national politics without political parties. This played a big role in the creation of the Electoral College system. The strange tale of how the electoral system came about puts some of its weird features into context. Once you get this context, it is at least understandable what the Framers thought they were doing.

Answer:

15/29

Explanation:

Olive oil = 5/8

Vinegar = 1/4

Let us find a common multiple that would help us easily make computation

We know that 5/8 = 15/24

and that 1/4 = 6/24

That means the mixture requires olive oil to be 15 parts out of 24

and requires vinegar to be 6 parts out of 24.

This means that the composition of salt, pepper, and sugar would be:

1 - (15/24 + 6/24)

= 1 - (21/24) = 3/24

This means that each is approximately 1 part of the mixture.

Hence if Vinegar is doubled: we have 12 parts of 24, instead of 6 parts of 24

And sugar is omitted, that means Sugar = 0 part of 24 instead of 1 part of 24

Total parts become = 15 + 12 + 1 + 1+ 0 = 29

From this 29 parts, 15 parts are olive, hence the olive proportion becomes:

15 parts of 29 = 15/29

Answer:

Explanation:

This lack of attention and complete disregard is most likely due to there being a significant gap between the rate at which people listen and the rate at which they think. Individuals think three to four times faster than the speed at which they speak, meaning you could listen at a rate of up to 450 words per minute. Since the speaker can't output this many words, then it makes it very easy for the listener to start getting impatient which causes the mind to wander towards other more stimulating topics/tasks.
