Explanation:

The Electoral College is an election topic that inspires confusion, controversy and conflict. Many people know that the Electoral College is part of the Presidential election process but may be unsure about its importance and how it works.

In the early days of our country’s formation, deciding on the process for electing a U.S. President was a controversial topic. Some suggested that Congress should choose the President. Others argued that it should be a democratic vote by the people. The compromise was the Electoral College, which has been in effect ever since.

How the Electoral College works

The Electoral College is composed of electors who each cast one electoral vote following the voting that takes place in the general election. Each state gets a certain number of electors based on its total number of representatives in Congress, which reflects population numbers for that state. There is a total of 538 electoral votes and the candidate must win the majority of the electoral votes to win the election. Therefore, the candidate who gets more than half (270 electoral votes) wins the Presidential election.

Based on the Electoral College, Presidential campaigns prioritize victories in states that will total more than 270 electoral votes, rather than trying to win the most actual direct votes nationwide. The key reason for this strategy is that in every state, except Nebraska and Maine, the candidate who wins the most votes in a state also wins all the electors from that state, regardless of the margin of victory. This winner-take-all electoral system makes it possible for one candidate to get more votes nationwide, but a different candidate to win in the Electoral College and ultimately, win the Presidency.

Identify one specific historical example of a similarity between the byzantine empire and the greek city-states
agasfer [191]

The Greek city-states had highly developed their artwork during the period prior to the creation of the Roman Empire. This artwork could be appreciated in all of the constructions throughout Ancient Greece.

The Romans subsequently adopted the Greek style of architecture. After the fall of Rome and the founding of the Byzantine empire in 330 CE, the Greek architectural style continued to maintain its predominance over other styles of art as it is evidenced in the temples and buildings located in the city of Constantinople, which served as the capital of the empire.
