7. Why is support for the Electoral College greater in small population states than it is in larger population states?

History
1 answer:
sleet_krkn [62]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The smaller population states have more power by using the Electoral College than they would otherwise.

Explanation:

The Electoral College of the United States is made up of electors who elect the President and Vice President of the United States. The Constitution determines how many voters each state has; in practice, the number is the same as the total numebr of congressmen that each state has.  

Voters do not directly elect the President and Vice President of the United States, but vote through the constituencies of their own state. Voters can, in principle, vote for any candidate, but in practice undertake to vote for a particular candidate, and thus voters know how to cast their vote through their constituents for their own candidate. This is an example of an indirect election method.

The smaller popularion states tend to support the electoral college more emphatically than the larger population states, since this voting mechanism implies an equalization in the proportion of votes by the smaller states with respect to the larger states. Otherwise, if it were the case of direct vote by citizens, four or five states could be decisive, leaving other citizens on a secondary level.

Evgen [1.6K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The events in Johnson's early life that shaped his belief of how the presidency should be were the following.

United States President Lyndon B. Jhonson (1908-1973) was born in the state of Texas. In his early years, he saw how his parents worked as farmers. Their economic condition was not good, and historians say that when he was in elementary school he said he wanted to be President of the United States. Years later he traveled to California, got back to Texas, got involved in some troubles that made him arrested. Then he came of age and decided to pursue a teacher's career. He realized that life was not easy.

In 1931 he became part of the staff of a Congressman. He got married and kept on doing a diligent job in politics until 1938 when he won the elections of the 10th district of Texas.

During World War II, and due to the close relationship he had with Franklin D. Roosevelt, he became a congressional inspector to oversee the progress in the Pacific. There he witnessed the pain and suffering of the war.

Years later, he won a seat in the Senate. A heart attack in 1955, made him rethink his priorities but he realized he wanted to serve his country and that is when he decided to be part of the candidacy for the vice presidency.
