The election of 1800 highlighted certain flaws in the US voting system. Some of those flaws were addressed by the Twelfth Amendment. But other flaws, including those related to the Electoral College, have continued to be debated. The following activity will help strengthen your understanding of the Electoral College.

Part A
The framers of the US Constitution had to choose from many possible methods for electing a president. Making this choice was a monumental task for the Constitutional Convention of 1787. This gathering of representatives from the states ended up proposing and voting on 60 different plans. In the end, they chose the Electoral College system. The elections of 1800, 1824, 1876, and 2000, all show some of the flaws in this solution.

Over the years, hundreds of bills have been proposed to change or replace the Electoral College. Read more about the Electoral College. As you read, pay attention to the discussion of the popular vote. Under a popular vote, Americans would vote directly for the president rather than indirectly through the Electoral College. After reading about the Electoral College, answer the following questions.

Why did the framers of the Constitution decide against a system that directly elected the president by popular vote?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The Framers thought that this was necessary because they wanted to avoid having a government or a part of government that was too powerful. The Framers were still worried about the idea of a part of government taking too much power. They were afraid the executive might become a monarch.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

If the president were directly elected by popular vote, then the states with a relatively smaller population would have less influence in the election. The representatives of the small states felt that a popular vote system would weaken their states’ influence in the nation’s new government.

There are 4 areas of land for sale. Land 1 has 502 acres and Land 2 has 206 acres. Cattle use to stay on Land 3 and pigs on Land 4. A rancher is looking to buy some land for his horses and cattle. Land 3 has 213 acres and is right next to Land 1. Land 1 and 4 are next to each other and are worth $1,100 an acre. Land 4 has 450 acres. Land 2 and 3 are $1,250 an acre. Taxes are already included in the price per acre. The rancher owns 11 horses and 28 cattle and wants at least 500 acres. The rancher wants to buy 2 sets of land for under $1,000,000 and the lands must be next to each other. What is the price for the cheaper sets of land?

Answers

Answer: $818,450.

Explanation:

given data:

land 1 = 502 acres.

land 2 = 206 acres.

land 3 = 213 acres.

land 4 = 450 acres.

cost of land 1 & 4 = $1,100/acre

cost of land 2&3 = $1,250/acre.

Cost of Each land;

land 1 = $1100 x 502 acres

= $552,200

Land 2 = $1250 x 206 acres

= $257,500

Land 3 = $1250 x 213 acres

= $266,250

Land 4 = $1100 x 450 acres

= $495,000.

Land 1 and 3 are right next to each other

= $552,200 + $266,250

= $818,450.

the price for the cheaper set of land is $818,450. Which is land 1 and 3

Answers

Answer:

Between 1900 and 1914, Germany became identified by Britain as the chief foreign threat to its Empire. This was, to a large extent, the outcome of the policies pursued by Germany's leader, Kaiser Wilhelm II – most notably his eagerness to build a battle fleet to rival Britain’s.

The Royal Navy was by far the most powerful of the world’s fleets. It kept the British Isles immune from invasion and was also primed to blockade enemy ports in time of war. Fundamentally, however, its purpose was the protection of trade. Britain relied upon imports, and its economic prosperity rested on seaborne trade, financed by the City of London. Any threat to Britain’s naval supremacy was a threat to the nation itself.
