Answer 1

Answer: D)

Explanation:

''The unbelievable facts'' is an example of an oxymoron which is a rhetorical device used when it comes to a contradiction in terms.  

Contradiction in ''unbelievable facts'' is because there are two words that do not find together which are ''facts'' and ''unbelievable''. Usually, the facts are something that is apsolutely true and everyone believes in it.

In this case ''unbelievable facts'' is an oxymoron that is referring to something that is bizarre and weird, but true.

I think it is futile to talk about politics. People only do it to be perceptible. All politicians are vain and fake. Everything they say we have ascertain. All they do is invoke people and they do nothing on their own. A lot of people have aversion toward politicians and I don't blame them. They have prosperity and usually dont share with the less fortunate. They are protruding in any crowd. Politics is a diversion from the more important issues going on. I think that most politicians have malice and should not be given power.

Write a one page essay explaining how the electoral college works and also explains whether or not you believe the Electoral college system should stay the same or change? You need to use evidence from the articles that we read earlier this week plus an additional source that you find .Then give a solution to how you would change it. Your paper should be no shorter than one page typed. Complete this in a word document and submit it.

Answers

Hello. You did not provide the article to which this question refers, which will leave the evidence unspecified.

Answer and Explanation:

The members of the electoral college are chosen by popular vote and each state in the country has its own electoral college, the number of members of the electoral college depending on the size of the states. In all, the country has 538 delegates (as members of the electoral college are called) and they are the ones who will vote and decide who will be the new president of the United States.

Each delegate is entitled to one vote, however, if a candidate receives the majority of the simple votes of a state's electoral college, that candidate will win the entire electoral college of that state.

The candidate who receives 270 votes from delegates across the country will be elected, regardless of the amount of popular votes that candidate received.

This generated a great controversy about the effectiveness of the electoral college within a democracy. If democracy allows the people to have the power to choose, why are the votes of the electoral college more important than the popular votes? This problem was most evident in the election that was to decide between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, where Clinton received the most popular votes, but Trump received 270 votes from the electoral college and became the president of the republic.

This makes us wish that the electoral college is extinct in the country and gives the people the power that belongs to the people, following democracy and justice, allowing elections to obtain direct voting and decision from the population.

The electoral college was created in 1787 when it was impossible to allow the entire population to vote, but much time has passed since society has evolved, allowing the people to be completely able to vote and decide for themselves who wants to govern them.

Explanation:

My infatuation with reading, ignited in the sixth grade, significantly changed my life. Ultimately, it was from my sixth-grade teacher that I learned the true power that lies between the covers of a book. It wasn't because she demanded we read or because she encouraged us to read or because she explained why we should read. It was because she opened the doors to reading and invited us into fantastic worlds we had never before experienced. Using books as her compass, she led the way, and all we had to do was follow.
