The Twelfth Amendment (Amendment XII) to the United States Constitution provides the procedure for electing the president and vice president. It replaced the procedure provided in Article II, Section 1, Clause 3, by which the Electoral College originally functioned. The amendment was proposed by the Congress on December 9, 1803, and was ratified by the requisite three-fourths of state legislatures on June 15, 1804. The new rules took effect for the 1804 presidential election and have governed all subsequent presidential elections.

Under the original rules of the Constitution, each member of the Electoral College cast two electoral votes, with no distinction made between electoral votes for president and electoral votes for vice president. The presidential candidate receiving the greatest number of votes—provided that number at least equaled a majority of the electors—was elected president, while the presidential candidate receiving the second-most votes was elected vice president. In cases where no individual won a vote from a majority of the electors, as well as in cases where multiple individuals won votes from a majority of electors but tied each other for the most votes, the House of Representatives would hold a contingent election to select the president. In cases where multiple candidates tied for the second-most votes, the Senate would hold a contingent election to select the vice president. The first four presidential elections were conducted under these rules.

The experiences of the 1796 and 1800 presidential elections – showing that the original system caused the election of a President and Vice-President who were political opponents of each other, constantly acting at cross-purposes – spurred legislators

How will Georgia's plans for rail expansion create economic growth ​
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Growth in the economy is an increase in the nation's economy or an increase in productive power. It makes moral circles of human and nation growth, evident in a better quality of lives of these people. Growth in the economy is the essential requirement to eliminating poverty, reducing inequality, assuring useful aid, making opportunities for quality training for all, establishing sustainable cities and societies, and attaining just any form of development needed for transiting from a developing economy to a developed one. Logically, for the nation to increase its creative power, there have to be multiple sources of output; the government may not only be in charge of industry. Thus, individual businesses and initiatives are critical to diversifying and improving the nation's creative capacity; entrepreneurs are essential contributors to the nation's growth in economy and development. Although growth in the economy may not inevitably change to the overall growth of the country as apparent in Nigeria's example (GDP of $ 481.1 billion yet about one-half of this population is reduced) , entrepreneurship development can induce economic growth as a lever for all-round development.
