Answer:

If you're a United States citizen, 18 years of age or older, you probably think you have the right to vote for presidential candidates in the national election. That's partially correct. When citizens cast their ballots for president in the popular vote, they elect a slate of electors. Electors then cast the votes that decide who becomes president of the United States.

Usually, electoral votes align with the popular vote in an election. But a number of times in our nation's history, the person who took the White House did not receive the most popular votes.

The founders thought that the use of electors would give our country a representative president, while avoiding a corruptible national election.

How did reformers try to address the limits of machine government? To what extent did they succeed?
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Reformers tried to tackle the limits of corporate government by proposing local (public) control of infrastructure and a tax system in which the rich bear the main burdens (Democrat Tom Johnson).

Explanation:

They developed recreational facilities such as public playgrounds and free concerts, and fought down their fares through streetcar companies. Reformers aimed to improve public transit and street transport. Pingree, Detroit's Republican Mayor, has converted empty neighborhood lots into vegetable gardens that helped feed thousands of working people. Neighborhoods of the working class promised affordable housing and municipal control of gas and electricity, as well as support for overcrowded public schools. We succeeded to the extent that a large number of things had changed despite the fact that their entire agenda was not achieved.
