History

Rom4ik [11]3 years ago

Answer:

A person running in an election can win the popular vote but still lose the election because of the electoral college. The electoral college is the amount of votes a state has based on population (for example, California has 55 while New Hampshire only has 4). So, if most of the people in one state vote blue, then all of the electoral colleges votes will be blue, and none of the state's red votes will count towards deciding the president. The Framers might not consider this a problem since they're the people who decided on this system.

Answer:

The Russian Revolution happened in 1917.

Explanation:

The Russian Revolution of 1917 was an important event in twentieth-century world history. France's state revolution in 1789 AD affected Europe's life on a deeper level by propagating the spirit of freedom, equality and brotherhood. The pervasiveness of the Russian Revolution was much broader than all the political events so far.

This revolution not only brought an end to autocratic, monocratic, autocratic, zarchic rule, but ended the economic and social power of the elite landlords, feudalists, capitalists etc. and established the first power of workers and peasants in the world.
