Answer:

Explanation:

The term “Green New Deal” was first used by Pulitzer Prize-winner Thomas Friedman in January 2007. America had just experienced its hottest year on record (there have been five hotter since), and Friedman recognized that there wasn’t going to be a palatable, easy solution to climate change as politicians hoped. It was going to take money, effort, and upsetting an industry that has always been very generous with campaign contributions.

Transitioning away from fossil fuels, he argued in a New York Times column, would require the government to raise prices on them, introduce higher energy standards, and undertake a massive industrial project to scale up green technology.1

“The right rallying call is for a ‘Green New Deal,’” he wrote, referencing former President Franklin D. Roosevelt's domestic programs to rescue the country from the Great Depression. “If you have put a windmill in your yard or some solar panels on your roof, bless your heart. But we will only green the world when we change the very nature of the electricity grid—moving it away from dirty coal or oil to clean coal and renewables.”

Since then, the “Green New Deal” has been used to describe various sets of policies that aim to make systemic change. The United Nations announced a Global Green New Deal in 2008.2 Former President Barack Obama added one to his platform when he ran for election in 2008,3 and Green party candidates, such as Jill Stein and Howie Hawkins, did the same.4

Explain the role of the electoral college in electing the US president, and compare two instances, one from the 19th century and

Sergio [31]

Answer:

The electoral college consists of 538 electors, who choose the president of the United States. These electors are sent from the states, in proportion to their population, and in all states except for Maine and Nebraska, the electors are bound to the candidate that obtains the plurality of votes in the state.

Some presidents have been elected despite having lost the popular vote.

An example from the 19th century is Rutherford B. Hayes, who lost the popular vote to his contender, Samuel J. Tilden, but still won because he got 20 more electoral votes.

An example from the 21st century is the most recent election: Donald Trump lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton, but won the electoral college (304 votes vs Clinton's 227 votes). In part this is because Trump won several crucial states by very small margins, for example, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

We can say that these theories are human constructions.
These theories were constructed, or created by humans, which makes them human constructions. They didn't exist before humans made them - they weren't previously part of nature around us. Rather we created them to suit our own needs and to make us understand life in general.
