Explain how the Electoral College system works.

History

Sidana [21]2 years ago

Answer:The Electoral College consists of 538 electors from each of the 50 states and Washington, D.C. Each state receives a certain number of electors based on the number of people who live there. Larger states receive larger teams of electors, while smaller states receive smaller teams of electors. And, just as football teams do not accept everyone who auditions, not everyone can be an elector. Each state has its own set of rules for selecting electors. Typically, the electors are chosen by the winning political party in the primary election.

Explanation:The Electoral College counts how many people voted for one presidential candidate and how many voted for the other after everyone in a state has voted. The candidate with the most popular votes receives all of the state's electoral votes. Except for Maine and Nebraska (which split their electoral votes), every state follows this "all or nothing" rule. That is why it is critical that every adult in your community vote. If a candidate wins the popular vote in a state by one extremely small vote, they receive all of the state's electoral votes.

How did scientific rationalism affect European religion and politics
Kryger [21]
Overall, scientific rationalism harmed European religion because educated European people began to question the beliefs of the Catholic Church rather than just accepting centuries-old ideals, undermining certain fundamental beliefs of the Church and slightly decreasing its reputation. In terms of politics, scientific rationalism began the inquiry into individual thought, causing many governmental policies to be seen as flawed and, later on, sparking revolutions.

Answer: Reconstruction

Explanation:

<em>In the "corrupt bargain" of 1877, Democrats allowed Republican Rutherford B. Hayes to become President and in exchange he ended </em><em><u>Reconstruction/Federal occupation</u></em><em> in the south what allowing Jim Crow to reign supreme there</em>

The presidential election of 1876 was a controversial one in that there were 4 states which had unresolved votes. Democratic candidate, Samuel J. Tilden had won the popular vote and was poised to win the electoral college as well but a deal was struck between Rutherford and the Democrats that he would withdraw Federal troops from the south which was the last thing enforcing Reconstruction in the South.

In return the Democrats voted to accept a decision that would give Rutherford the contented electoral votes and upon being made president, he withdraw the Federal troops which allowed the Southern States to enforce Jim Crow laws.
