Does the Electoral College still make sense for today's election? Why or why not?

Social Studies
1 answer:
Y_Kistochka [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The true false question is false. A candidate can have fewer votes than his opponent and still be elected President of the United States. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe John Kennedy was one example. I believe that Trump is another.

The Electoral College was a good idea when the States were first deciding the President because communication was very poor and it made sense to have a body that represented the individual states.

I don't think it is a particularly good idea now. The winner of an election (without getting into the mail in Ballads problem) should be half the votes plus 1.  We have good enough communications that elections can be determined just by counting all the votes cast. The Electoral College puts too much emphasis on places like Texas Florida New York and California. The rust belt becomes important because the most populous states are split.

Popular vote should decide.

Answer:

Fixed interval, fixed ratio

Explanation:

<u>Fixed interval schedule: </u>

The main motto of the reinforcement schedule is to motivate the behavior. In a fixed interval of time, the behavior is motivated after passing a fixed time but the interval of time is always fixed.  

For example, the behavior is reinforced after 5 seconds, the second reinforced will be given after 5 seconds when the response does not occur.  

<u>Fixed ratio schedules: </u>

In this schedule, the behavior is reinforced after a certain fixed response. This schedule contains a fixed number of responses.  

For example, if a rat is pressing the lever but if rat pressing the lever 7 times then will get reinforcement that is fixed ratio schedule.
