Plumer provides numbers to support his argument? How do these numbers show inequality

Source: Bradford Plumer, “The Indefensible Electoral College,” Mother Jones, October 8, 2004.

"Perhaps most worrying is the prospect of a tie in the electoral vote. In that case, the election would be thrown to the House of Representatives, where state delegations vote on the president. (The Senate would choose the vice president.) Because each state casts only one vote, the single representative from Wyoming, representing 500,000 people, would have as much say as the 53 representatives from California, who represent 35 million people".

Plumer provides numbers to support his argument?

How do these numbers show inequality?

Answer:

Plumer compares Wyoming, which has a deputy in the House of Representatives to represent 500,000 people, with California, which has 53 representatives representing 35 million people.

Explanation:

The inequality lays on the fact that, in the case of a tie in the electoral vote, state delegations are commanded to vote on the president, but each state can only cast one vote, regardless of how many citizens are represented in that decision.

Answer:

There were 2 primary types of government, a democracy, and a hierarchy. A hierarchy had a few different variants, the ruler had all power and was a god, the ruler controlled people, and the ruler had the most power but had a small house of other "government officials"

If I had a kingdom, it would have a democracy as its government. A group of advisors, the house/senate, and what many think is the ultimate power but has equal power, the president/king. Democracy is important. Not too much though, or else you get communism. Now, things were different back then. Most people kept what they had, and the citizens ran their own "government" of sorts. But a democratic government is still needed to control, and maintain the people. When I say control, I don't mean "give me all of your money and earnings and we will give you what you earned in food, water, clothes, and a house." That's communism. What I mean by control, is enforce the rules, make sure that the people don't tear each other apart, limb from limb. The people need guided to the decided way of living, which THEY CHOSE by voting. Therefore, they chose to follow these guidelines, and should not argue. That is how to run a stable government. On paper. Of course, there would be plenty of people who want to cause problems, but those things are too unpredictable to handle without communism. Not saying that it is the only way to run a government, what I meant was those things will be deal with at the time and can't be fixed on a simple word document for a history lesson on a computer learning system meant for a sixth grader to answer in a few sentences, about why you should be good to people, and not meant to go into detail about communism, and meant to see who understands how to live a happy human life, and who knows how to be the next "president" of Russia, and also just to see students creativity and knowledge of world politics as well as their downright opinion. I probably went into a lot of detail but hit the word limit.

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

sociocultural

Explanation:

According to my research on different psychological perspectives, I can say that based on the information provided within the question these psychologists are most likely working from the sociocultural perspective. This perspective combines aspects of social and cultural factors into one view. We can say this is the perspective being used because they are studying negative feedback affects on people (social) within different independent cultures (cultural).

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.
