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.

Leader Ronald Reagan Dwight D. Eisenhower Margarita Thatcher
White raven [17]

Here are your matches:

<u>Ronald Reagan</u>

  • I challenged the Soviet Union to tear down the Berlin Wall.  I also maintained a hard line against communism.

<u>Dwight D. Eisenhower</u>

  • My administration created the idea of brinkmanship--going to the brink of nuclear war to achieve our aims.

<u>Margaret Thatcher</u>

  • I was good friends with leaders of the Soviet Union and the United States and helped end the Cold War by bringing them together.

<u>Nikita Khrushchev</u>

  • I pulled missiles out of Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and prevented the Cold War from escalating into a nuclear war.

<u>Harry S. Truman</u>

  • I made the decision to drop the atomic bomb, but I also became known for Marshall Plan and the doctrine of containment.

<u>Josef Stalin</u>

  • I began the Cold War in Europe by creating the Communist Bloc.  I also stole atomic secrets from the United States and built my own bomb, thus escalating tension in the early Cold War.

<u>Mikhail Gorbachev</u>

  • My policies were designed to give more personal and economic freedom to people in the Soviet Union.  I had good relations with many leaders in the Western Bloc.

A bit of added detail:

I'd like to explain more about one item in the list above -- the policy of "brinkmanship" during the Eisenhower administration.

John Foster Dulles was Secretary of State under US President Dwight Eisenhower. Dulles held the office from 1953 to 1959.  He wanted a change from what had been the "containment policy" which the US had followed during the Truman Administration, as recommended then by American diplomat George F. Kennan.   Dulles felt the containment approach put the United States in a weak position, because it only was reactive, trying to contain  communist aggression when it occurred.

Dulles sought to push America's policy in a more active direction; some have labeled his approach "brinkmanship."  In an article in <em>LIFE </em>magazine in 1956, Dulles said, "The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art."  He wasn't afraid to threaten massive retaliation against communist enemy countries as a way of intimidating them.
