have the most votes. Since bigger states have more votes, it would make sense that they should have a bigger impact in the Electoral College, but they have a smaller impact in comparison. If a candidate were able to win California, Florida, and Washington, they would still be short on votes. For example, in the United States presidential election of 2000, George W. Bush against Al Gore, Bush won the Electoral College. Bush won 271 electoral votes to win the election; he won thirty states…

When the United States’ Constitution was written in 1787, the country was very different than it is today. In 1787 a much smaller percentage of people were educated, there were way fewer people living in the country, and people were very concerned with the president being elected by “smart” people.

However, in modern times, a direct presidential election would be better…

There once was a boy that was born on a plantation in Alabama in 1852 into a slave family. Slavery was stronger than ever in the south with all the money plantation owners were making off the labor of enslaved African Americans.

Having a popular vote, or by deciding by congressional districts would be other options that Congress has thought about, and even states have signed in on being for a National…

Native Americans all across North America have been mistreated since the Europeans first arrived. Despite being treated slightly better than the dust on the ground, they mainly kept to their ways. They never took too much from the land, and many tribes had a well formed way of life. Fast forward to around the 1800’s and they are still living this way, but many are being mistreated. Europeans explored and took land at every chance. This led to many of the remaining Native Americans to be on the…

Throughout time the Declaration of Independence has been referenced to and modified to speak on equality and how the founding fathers laid the principles for all men being equal regardless of race, social standing, or amount of wealth even if they wrote the document in a completely different time period . Three major contributors to this were President Abraham Lincoln, President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR), and Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK). All three of these men used the Deceleration of…

To help understand this speech and its implications, one must first be aware of the context surrounding it. It was presented before the presidential election to help thrust Trump’s chances to become president forth. Also, the American people generally do not have the highest education levels among high income countries, and these people are those who Trump is mainly targeting, among others, because they represent the majority of the population; 40 percent of Americans do not even start college,…
