The differences between single-member district and proportional representation systems.

History
1 answer:
MrRa [10]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Systems of single member and proportional representation are very different. Single member representation, as in the United States, works by carving every state in the country into individual districts based upon population density. In the United States, the number of one-half of a million people is the rough number of citizens in each district. As states lose population for any reason, such as a major decline in job opportunities to other states, they lose voting districts. The number of districts and, consequently, the number of elected officials in the House of Representatives (under the U.S. Constitution, each state has two senators) representing each state is determined on the basis of the national census taken every ten years. Populations shifts, therefore, determine which regions gain and which regions lose representation.

What was one reason France sided with the Americans in the Revolutionary War? They wanted American resources.
sesenic [268]

The correct answer is C) France lost the French and Indian War.

One reason why France sided with the Americans in the Revolutionary War was that France lost the "French and Indian War."

England and France fought the "French and Indian War" in 1756. Both countries disputed territories in North America because they had imperialistic interests in the region. Some Native American Indians sided with the French, others with the British. In the end, England won the war. That is why the French decided to support the Continental Army, led by General George Washington, during the Revolutionary War, where the 13 colonies fought against the British troops to gain independence from the British crown.

Discuss how third world countries are impacted by diseases such as malaria. Do you believe the United States should be responsib
ale4655 [162]
In poorer countries serious diseases more often than in richer countries result in death. Additionally, becasue the diseases are often untreated, they are not as contained as in richer countries, which means that they spread more.  This means that smaller countries are more affected by diseases.

I think that US (and other rich countries) should have a moral (but perhaps not legal) responsibility to help. If not for other reasons, then for the reason that if diseases spread in poorer countries, they might also be brought to the US. Additionally, this would be a good example of human solidarity.
