The U.S. President is elected by the electoral college, not by the popular vote. So, a president can be elected when he/she has

fewer votes than his/her opponent. Is this consistent with the notion of "government by the people"?

Answer:

The electoral college was intended to be a balance between popular voting and representatives in Congress who already had legislative power.

Explanation:

The electoral college was a compromise on different systems for voting for the executive branch because they did not want just Congress to be the source of the votes because that could lead to corruption and Congress already had legislative power. There were others who did not want to let the people elect the president by a popular vote because this would leave many states with smaller populations underrepresented.  At the time it was thought that the common person in the 18th-century lacked the know-how to be fully informed about politics and what the candidates were each promoting, especially in rural areas. Second, the founding fathers feared that direct or popular voters would appeal just to daily needs and thus steer the country astray. There was also concern that a populist president with such a direct tie to the people would be dangerously powerful.

White raven [17]

Answer: a. Wise

Explanation:

At the beginning of the story (Federigo's Falcon) it was shown that Federigo was a very RICH and RESPECTED man who lavished Monna Giovanni with a lot of gifts as well as holding sumptuous banquets.

It was also shown that he was of Nobel birth.

The fact that he kept spending money on lavish gifts and parties without taking anything in however, and eventually becoming poor showed that he was not a WISE man because a wise man should know how to keep his finances balanced.

The phrase, "poor mexico: so far from god, so close to the united states," refers to what reality?
Marysya12 [62]
<span>The phrase actually refers is the what by now should be the well-known history of the U.S. supporting military coups all over South and Central America. Many of the officers involved in the coups with documented violation of human rights were trained by the U.S. in the so-called School of Americas renamed the Western Hemisphere for Institute for Security of Cooperation. </span><span>
</span><span>If you look back at the history of the U.S, you'll see a number of wars or otherwise extensive conflicts averaging every 20-30 years. This rabid aggression and the use of extensive deception are among the reasons U.S. presence is not only resented in Central/South America but currently in areas such as the Middle East.

Why can the position of the vice president be considered both very important and very unimportant?
Jlenok [28]
<span>Actually vice president always comes under the direct controll of president, hence it can be considerd very important because theres lot of critical responsibilities and follow ups which are carried on the shoulders, most of the times and then its very unimportant because in case of anybody any small mistakes or miscommunications then vice president will be directly responsible from the top levels to face the tough questions.</span>
