The Electoral College impedes democracy in a few different ways. First, the winner take all mechanism that is used by the Electoral College in a vast majority of states not only discourages people from voting but ends up disregarding most people’s votes altogether. This winner take all approach makes it difficult for anyone besides major two party candidates to achieve any widespread support. This reinforces the two-party system and discourages any divergence from it. The winner take all system also makes it so that votes that don’t fall within the majority have absolutely no weight in the actual country wide election. A voter who wants to vote third party or for a less popular candidate will likely see no reason to do so, and will be discouraged to vote at all. Arguably the most important way in which the Electoral College impedes democracy is the way in which it over represents rural areas. A true democracy should.

Answer:

Facilitates - It collectively decides votes based on the citizens' decisions and is also based entirely around the population in a state. Also allows there to be weight to certain areas that are more influenced by certain decisions.

Impedes - It is not always entirely accurate and made to suit the population perfectly. The electoral votes are unbalanced and can give importance to certain states more than others, making is hard for everyone's opinions to be heard and acted upon.

Explanation:

The Final Solution is the shortened version of what the Nazis called the Final Solution to the Jewish Question. It was the term for the Nazi plan for the extermination and Genocide of the Jewish people during World War II.The code name was for the murder of all Jews in reach but was not restricted to Europe once they had completed their aims within the continent. The program evolved during the first 2 years of the war leading to the Holocaust where the aim was to murder “every last Jew in the German grasp”.The Final Solution was a policy of the Nazi Party, a policy of deliberate and systematic genocide, and was formulated by Nazi leadership in the January of 1942 at the Wannsee Conference which was held near Berlin. Following this, the Holocaust took the lives of 90% of the Polish-Jewish population, two-thirds of the Jewish European population. That is around six million Jews in total.

Many presidents in American history have faced constitutional questions related to their powers, policies, or conduct. President
ololo11 [35]

The Constitutional Issues that arose in the above presidential actions were:

  • Ronald Reagan - Iran - Contra Affair - Separation of Powers.
  • Bill Clinton impeachment - Checks and Balances principle.
  • George W. Bush : Use of executive priviledge - Separation of Powers
  • George W. Bush: Patriot Act: - Bill of Rights violation
  • George W. Bush: Iraq War - Separation of Powers.

<h3>What were the constitutional issues involved in past president's actions?</h3>

The Separation of Powers principle allows Congress the sole power over U.S. funding efforts internationally. President Reagan's administration circumvented this by trading with Iraq and funding Contra rebels.

Bill Clinton's impeachment showed the Checks and Balances principle that allows for Congress to act against the president for misdemenor crimes.

George Bush tried to use executive privilege but this could only go so far because Congress had powers over his purported actions

The Patriot Act violated the Bill of Rights as regards searches without warrants and violation of privacy. The Iraq War showed the separation of powers principle because Congress had to okay an invasion before it happened.
