History

Answer:

B. Citizens indirectly vote for the president, while they directly vote for candidates for most other offices.

Explanation:

As the Presidential elections are held with an electoral vote, citizens show their preferences for a certain candidate to office, once a state is won by one candidate or another the electoral votes go to that candidate depending on the state could be from 55 electoral votes in California, to 3 in several smaller states. This means that the popular vote can go to one candidate and still not be elected if the electoral vote goes the other way, most local, state and other federal offices are won by popular vote.

Answer:

B. Citizens indirectly vote for the president, while they directly vote for candidates for most other offices.

Explanation:

When citizens vote for candidates for other offices (besides presidential candidates), their vote is directly counted towards the election. However, while a citizen still votes for a president, this is not the only factor that is considered. In the United States, the Electoral College has some influence in whether a candidate can become the president or not. Therefore, citizens only vote for the president in an indirect way.
