The Electoral College was created to protect US citizens against mob rule. Mob rule is the control of a lawful government system by a mass of people through violence and intimidation. However, some Americans question the legitimacy of this process. Pick one election where the outcome of the popular vote and the electoral college vote differed to create an argument in favor of or opposed to the use of the electoral college. List at least three valid points to support your argument. Present you argument in a PowerPoint presentation.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
We are not going to make a PP presentation for you. What we can do is to give the information so you can include it in your presentation,
Context:
The founding fathers indeed had the best of intentions when they created the Electoral College to define elections. This could be valid at the end of the 1700s during the 1800s.
However, today, in the 2020s, things have radically changed. This is another United States and a completely different society.
Example:
We are going to choose the 2016 elections because is a good case about this topic.
According to the Electoral College, the Republican candidate Donald Trump won the electoral vote 304-227. The losing candidate was Democrat Hillary Clinton.
However, in the popular vote, Clinton won the election 65,853,514 vs 62, 984828.
Since that election and according to many experts, historians, scholars, journalists, former politicians, and public opinion leaders, the US needs to amend the Constitution to establish the popular vote as the winner of a presidential election.
People need to be trusted. Citizens are educated, have their criteria and their voices must be heard. In most modern democracies, the popular vote is the one that defines the winner of the election.
What powered the Industrial Revolution?
A. coal and wood
B. coal and steam
C. water power and wood
D. water power and steam
Answer:
d by British authorities. Francis Cabot Lowell, of Massachusetts, visited Britain from 1810 to 1812 and returned to set up the first power loom and the first factory combining mechanical spinning and weaving in the States. Railroad construction in America boomed from the 1830s to 1870s. The American Civil War (1861–65) was the first truly industrial war — the increasingly urbanized and factory-based North fighting against the agriculture-focused South — and industrialization grew explosively afterward. By 1900 the United States had overtaken Britain in manufacturing, producing 24 percent of the world’s output.
After 1870 both Russia and Japan were forced by losing wars to abolish their feudal systems and to compete in the industrializing world. In Japan, the monarchy proved flexible enough to survive through early industrialization. In Russia, a profoundly rural country, the czar and the nobility undertook industrialization while trying to retain their dominance. Factory workers often worked 13-hour days without any legal rights. Discontent erupted repeatedly, and eventually a revolution brought the Communist party to power in 1917.
Industrialized nations used their strong armies and navies to colonize many parts of the world that were not industrialized, gaining access to the raw materials needed for their factories, a practice known as imperialism. In 1800 Europeans occupied or controlled about 34 percent of the land surface of the world; by 1914 this had risen to 84 percent.
Britain led the 19th-century takeovers and ended the century with the largest noncontiguous empire the world has ever known. (“The sun never sets on the British Empire,” as the British liked to say.) Britain exerted great influence in China and the Ottoman Empire without taking over direct rule, while in India, Southeast Asia, and 60 percent of Africa, it assumed all governmental functions.
In the last decade of the 19th century most European nations grabbed for a piece of Africa, and by 1900 the only independent country left on the continent was Ethiopia. After World War II (1939–1945) Europe’s colonies demanded their independence, which didn’t always happen immediately or without conflict but eventually took root. Now, in the early 21st century, Brazil, China, and India are becoming economic powerhouses, while many European countries are enduring troubled economic times.

Consequences of the Industrial Revolution
The statistics that reflect the effects of industrialization are staggering. In 1700, before the widespread use of fossil fuels, the world had a population of 670 million people. By 2011 the world’s population had reached 6.7 billion, a 10-fold increase in a mere 300 years. In the 20th century alone, the world’s economy grew 14-fold, the per capita income grew almost fourfold, and the use of energy expanded at least 13-fold. This kind of growth has never before occurred in human history.
Many people around the world today enjoy the benefits of industrialization. With so much more energy flowing through human systems than ever before, many of us must do much less hard physical labor than earlier generations did. People today are able to feed more babies and bring them to adulthood. Many people vote and participate in modern states, which provide education, social security, and health benefits. Large numbers of people enjoy levels of wealth, health, education, travel, and life expectancy unimagined before industrialization.
The benefits of industrialization, however, have come at great cost. For one thing, the rate of change (acceleration) is now so rapid that individuals and social systems struggle to keep up. And strong arguments can be made about depersonalization in the age of mass production.
The increased complexity of the industrial system has also brought increased fragility. Industrialization depends on the interaction of many diverse components, any one of which could fail. We know that many of the essential components of the industrial system, and the natural resources it depends on, are being compromised — the soil, the oceans, the atmosphere, the underground water levels, plants, and animals are all at risk. Will growth continue unchecked, or are we approaching the end of an unsustainable industrial era? Whatever the future holds, we’ll be debating — and dealing with — the consequences of modernization for years to come.

Best conveys that vegetarianism is good for the environment
how is vegetarianism good for the environment?
Livestock produces large amounts of greenhouse gases, mainly methane. These gases are causes of global warming to the greenhouse gas effect in which they are trapped in the earth's atmosphere and heat the surface. Vegetarianism would reduce the need for the copious amount of livestock present and the excess production of menthane as well as other harmful gases. Livestock also takes up a lot of land due to their feeding needs resulting in a large percent of food grown in the US not being for human consumption but rather for the livestock themselves. This can also lead to the release of more greenhouse gases due to the combustion within machines used for farming like tractors.

The statement below is from a statement made by Thaddeus Stevens, member of the House of Representatives in 1868.
"When Andrew Johnson took upon himself the duties of his high office he swore to obey the Constitution and take care that the laws be faithfully executed. That, indeed, is and has always been the chief duty of the President of the United States…
I accuse him, in the name of the House of Representatives, of having perpetrated that foul offense against the laws and interests of his country . . ."

presidential impeachment
presidential veto
presidential election
The correct answer is B) presidential impeachment.
How might similar statements influence congressional action?
presidential impeachment.
Congress has the constitutional power of impeaching federal officials, including the United States President.
When federal officials commit a crime or act in an incorrect way the House of Representatives can initiate an impeachment process.
The impeachment process is the official mechanism to remove the President of the United States, the vice president or other government officials that are suspected of having committed any high crime, treason, or misconduct. If the House of Representatives approves by sole majority articles of impeachment, the matter is presented to the Senate. The Constitution provides the Senate with the sole power to try an impeachment process.
Kevin decides he wants to hold a panel to discuss his favorite science fiction show at a nearby convention. When he arrives at the location, he sees many people dressed up as characters from the show. What type of audience will Kevin most likely have when he hosts his panel
Answer:
Expert audience

The individuals you appeal to have all the necessary details.
Hence Kevin will witness expert audience.

In the book Dr. B was alone in his cell; he created almost two different people and managed
to play chess with himself. But when you create two separate people in the same body, does
it really complement an outside partner or are you still alone?
Write a Answer about this question according to the book Chess, Stefan Zweig.
Answer and Explanation:
Chess is definitely a game to be played by two, and it is necessary that each participant has his own strategy and does not know the other's strategy, thus making the game exciting and unpredictable. It is impossible to play chess alone, so if an individual has managed to create two separate entities from himself and play a game of chess, that individual is not alone, but has managed to establish an external partner, who has fulfilled the requirements to play that game.

1. Briefly share your thoughts as to why being aware of the existence of biases is important to critical thinking and necessary when doing research, when reviewing information, or when learning about the arguments of others.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
When doing some kind of research, being aware of the existence of biases is very important to critical thinking in that any form of bias could distort the nature of the research, The same happens when scientists review information or decide to learn more about the arguments of others.
If researchers bias the information, it could be understood as if the researcher is manipulating the information or even worst, the results.
The process must be directed by the scientific method and the obligation of the researchers is to report the truth of the findings.
So ethics and high values must precede any research.
Furthermore, if biases are presented in the research, critical thinking can help to expose those biases and help the reader to identify them, explaining how this affects the process or the result of the research, inviting the reader to discern about the information exposed.

Identify the challenges that American Indians faced when they were move to reservations.
Answer: Life in the reserves was tough.
Explanation:
After several legislation passed by the United States government, many Indian communities were relocated to specific locations. Apart from the immorality of depriving the land of the people who had lived there for centuries, the Indians also faced other problems. The natives thus lost the nomadic way of life they had led for centuries. There were problems with cultivating the land. Many natives did not know new agricultural techniques such as irrigation systems. Sometimes enemy tribes were located nearby, which caused the creation of additional tensions among the tribes.
How does the Dr.Guillotine represent the rally cry of the revolution "liberty, equality and fraternity"?
I will give brainliest please answer
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.
Dr.Guillotine represented the rallying cry of the revolution "liberty, equality and fraternity" in that the Guillotine represented the symbol of harsh punishment to people that had abused the poor people in France.
During the French Revolution, Dr. Joseph-Ignace Guillotin was the French politician that recommended the use of the Guillotine for the death penalty. Let us have a clarification here. Although the device has his name, he was not the inventor of the guillotine. The credit corresponds to a man named Tobias Schmidt.
Dr. Gullotin had this idea on October 10, 1789, considering the Guillotine was a "less painful" way to kill people.

Think about factors of production; how does the government stimulate production? What are some of the steps that governments (like in the USA) can take to stimulate both consumer participation and entrepreneurship in the marketplace?
Answer:
The factors of production are labor, capital, and land.
The government can stimulate production by implementing expansionary fiscal and monetary policy. Expansionary fiscal policy consists in increasing government spending and/or lowering taxes. Expansionary monetary policy consists in lowering interest rates to stimulate investment, by increasing the money supply in the economy.
The US government often employs expansionary fiscal and monetary policy to boost the economy in times of when activity is lagging. It also implements other policies like promoting research, helping foster relations between the public sector, the academic sector, and the private sector in other to boost innovation, and granting cheap credits to entrepreneurs who have original ideas to test in the marketplace.
