History

Natali5045456 [20]3 years ago
5 0

Correct answer: a. designed to select the president.

As noted on the Electoral College page at the National Archives site, "the founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens."

There are many checks and balances in the design of US government.  The Electoral College is a check against what the founders thought of as possible "tyranny of the majority," if a candidate with a great number of popular votes was seen by the selected electors as dangerous to the republic.

What do the articles of constitution explicitly outline
Yakvenalex [24]

The correct answer is D) the process by which Congressional representatives are allocated to the states.

The articles of the Constitution explicitly outlined the process by which Congressional representatives are allocated to the states.

The Articles of Confederation are considered to be the first written Constitution of the United States. After the Declaration of Independence, the Articles served as the first form of a national government. The Articles were written in 1777 and were ratified until March 1781. The Articles granted sovereignty to the states and they were the ones who could collect taxes. On the other hand, the Articles established a weak central government in the hands of Congress.

The other options of the question were A) the process by which slavery is to be abolished. B) the responsibility f Congress for declaring war and commanding the military. C) the protection of individual rights to practice any religion.
