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.

How did these invasions contribute to the fall of the Roman Empire
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The most straightforward theory for Western Rome’s collapse pins the fall on a string of military losses sustained against outside forces. Rome had tangled with Germanic tribes for centuries, but by the 300s “barbarian” groups like the Goths had encroached beyond the Empire’s borders. The Romans weathered a Germanic uprising in the late fourth century, but in 410 the Visigoth King Alaric successfully sacked the city of Rome. The Empire spent the next several decades under constant threat before “the Eternal City” was raided again in 455, this time by the Vandals. Finally, in 476, the Germanic leader Odoacer staged a revolt and deposed the Emperor Romulus Augustulus. From then on, no Roman emperor would ever again rule from a post in Italy, leading many to cite 476 as the year the Western Empire suffered its deathblow.
