This has never happened. however should it occur the house of representatives (constitutionally speaking excluding any amendments) would in fact take the three candidates that have received the most electoral votes (there must be at least three in order for this to occur.) and elect them. each member of the house gets one vote. before amendments were made to the constitution it is said that the senate would elect the vice president the same way however this is unlikely to  occur as the current way we pick vp's is through the president himself. hope this helped!

The 538 members of the Electoral College cast their votes for President and Vice President in meetings held in the 50 state capitals and the District of Columbia in mid-December of presidential election years. If all 538 electors are appointed, 270 electoral votes (i.e., a majority of 538 members of the Electoral College) are required to elect the President and the Vice President.

Why might the king have ignored the colonists petitions for redress?
oksian1 [2.3K]
The King might have ignored the colonists petitions for redress because he believed he was well within his authority to impose the imperial policies that the British were imposing on the colonists. Additionally the British believed that they had protected and taken care of the colonists in a number of wars and therefore deserved to be paid through taxes for the services they had provided. In addition the King had numerous other colonies and wanted to prevent any of the colonies from believing they had the ability or right for self government.

How does Laurier’s compromise reflect education in Canada today?
Lemur [1.5K]

Explanation:

his death 17 Feb 1919        some things i read on it “Canada has been modest in its history, although its history,” said Laurier in 1904, “is only commencing.… The 19th century was the century of the United States. I think we can claim that Canada will fill the 20th century.”In external relations, his objective was to improve Canada's position relative to both the United States and Great Britain. In 1897, he opposed efforts by British authorities to draw Canada into a closer imperial federation. During the South African War (1899–1902), he again chose compromise between English Canadians — who supported military involvement — and French Canadians — who vehemently opposed it. By allowing for the recruitment of a contingent of volunteers, partially paid for by Britain, Laurier found the middle ground. When imperialists demanded that Canada assist the British Royal Navy, which was struggling to stay ahead of the German navy, Laurier compromised. In 1910, he helped pass the Naval Service Act, which established the Naval Service of Canada (later, Royal Canadian Navy). this is just wat i've read an think so plz don't be mad im just trying to help
