How does the process of electing the president demonstrate the principle of representatives democracy ?

History

madam [21]2 years ago

Answer:

After you cast your ballot for president, your vote goes to a statewide tally. In 48 states and Washington, D.C., the winner gets all the electoral votes for that state. Maine and Nebraska assign their electors using a proportional system.

A candidate needs the vote of at least 270 electors—more than half of all electors—to win the presidential election.

In most cases, a projected winner is announced on election night in November after you vote. But the actual Electoral College vote takes place in mid-December when the electors meet in their states. See the Electoral College timeline of events for the 2020 election.

While the Constitution doesn’t require electors to vote for the candidate chosen by their state's popular vote, some states do. The rare elector who votes for someone else may be fined, disqualified and replaced by a substitute elector, or potentially even prosecuted.

Why were American Protestants afraid of increased catholic immigration
brilliants [131]

American Protestants were afraid of the increased catholic immigration since <u>they felt threatened by the idea of America becoming a Catholic country. </u>

  • On the one hand, Catholics believed a different Christianity than Protestants. Protestants, as opposed to the Catholic church, thought the following:
  1. Less hierarchy in church structure.
  2. The Bible and, not the sacraments, as source of revelation from God
  3. Jesus as the only necessary intercessor with God.
  • There was an prejudice from anti-catholics that has to do with social class or status of the inmigrants. <u>Protestants from upper classes</u>, believed that the inmigrants were poor, therefore, they associated them with crime, danger and laziness.
  • The fear from the American protestants created by the massive flow of catholic inmigrants, was so big that even a popular national organization, the <u>American Protective Association</u>, was founded to promote anti-Catholicism.
