a) The winner-take-all feature is a rule for the Electoral College. It basically says  that out of the 48 states that participate, whichever candidate has the majority or  popular vote takes all of the state’s Electoral votes.

 (b) Presidential candidates will be affected by the electoral college because one of   their main focuses is media and money, on states where a lot of people vote based on  their own theories. Not leaning towards being Democrat or Republican. Being able to  change their thoughts would have a big advantage for them. Another reason effecting  presidential candidates is picking Vice Presidents. They will choose a candidate that is  on the same party and to bring more appeal to the campaign.  

(c) One example, to explain why winner-takes-all can relate to third party  candidates, is because it is difficult to win electoral college meaning for third party   candidates it’s harder to raise or gain funds.

(d) The Electoral College has been around for so long that to abolish it would  require a change in a constitutional amendment. Also it gives confidence and fairness to  small states because each elector represents fewer people than in the larger states.

If an offender is sentenced to life without the possibility of parole, then the offender will remain in jail for the rest of his
Naddik [55]
It is not fair in my opinion, because the 50 year old has already lived a life, where as the 20 year old hasn't. The 50 year old has already has done things in his or her life that the 20 year old won't be able to do. For example, when the 20 year old gets out of jail he will be 80 meaning he may never experience things such as getting married, having children, and etc. The 50 year old may have already done those things in his or her life, so it is very unfair to the 20 year old. The sentencing is also unfair due to the fact being both of them committed the crime and should have the same time served in jail. 

Hint: that the last sentence might not hold up due to the fact of what he or she did and it pertains to how serve the crime was for both parties. Such as one person killed someone, while the other one didn't pull the trigger but was an accomplice or new about the killing. So it really depends on the crime or crimes the person has committed.
