Answer:

Explanation:

When George Will says independent candidates could “splinter the electorate”, he means that amalgamation of broad concensus with independent parties through coalition and agreement would eradicate the winner-take-all electoral system.

George Will thinks this is important because winner-take-all electoral votes make the winner look like he/she has won by a large majority or represents national decisiveness even when he/she wins only by a close margin of votes.

In other words, the whole electoral votes of a particular state go in the hands of the winning candidate and the defeated candidate along with the rest of the people who supported the defeated candidate lose all thier electoral votes.

Answer:

Americans elected Roosevelt President in 1932 because they believed he could combat the Depression more effectively than his Republican opponent, President Herbert Hoover. Roosevelt promised a "new deal" and he certainly delivered. By implementing a variety of innovative policies, FDR was able to pull the United States away from the brink of economic, social, and perhaps even political, disaster—and lay the foundation for future stability and prosperity. If FDR was elected in 1932 to fight the Depression, he was largely re-elected in 1940 because Americans believed he could guide the nation through a period of treacherous international relations.
