Answer:
The debate over the continued use of the Electoral College resurfaced during the 2016 presidential election, when Donald Trump lost the general election to Hillary Clinton by over 2.8 million votes and won the Electoral College by 74 votes. The official general election results indicate that Trump received 304 Electoral College votes and 46.09% of the popular vote (62,984,825 votes), and Hillary Clinton received 227 Electoral College votes and 48.18% of the popular vote (65,853,516 votes). [1]
Prior to the 2016 election, there were four times in US history when a candidate won the presidency despite losing the popular vote: 1824 (John Quincy Adams over Andrew Jackson), 1876 (Rutherford B. Hayes over Samuel Tilden), 1888 (Benjamin Harrison over Grover Cleveland), and 2000 (George W. Bush over Al Gore). [2]
The Electoral College was established in 1788 by Article II of the US Constitution, which also established the executive branch of the US government, and was revised by the Twelfth Amendment (ratified June 15, 1804), the Fourteenth Amendment (ratified July 1868), and the Twenty-Third Amendment (ratified Mar. 29, 1961). Because the procedure for electing the president is part of the Constitution, a Constitutional Amendment (which requires two-thirds approval in both houses of Congress plus approval by 38 states) would be required to abolish the Electoral College. [3] [4] [5] [6]
The Founding Fathers created the Electoral College as a compromise between electing the president via a vote in Congress only or via a popular vote only. The Electoral College comprises 538 electors; each state is allowed one elector for each Representative and Senator (DC is allowed 3 electors as established by the Twenty-Third Amendment). [3] [4] [5] [6]
In each state, a group of electors is chosen by each political party. On election day, voters choosing a presidential candidate are actually casting a vote for an elector. Most states use the “winner-take-all” method, in which all electoral votes are awarded to the winner of the popular vote in that state. In Nebraska and Maine, the candidate that wins the state’s overall popular vote receives two electors, and one elector from each congressional district is apportioned to the popular vote winner in that district. For a candidate to win the presidency, he or she must win at least 270 Electoral College votes. [3] [4] [5] [6]
At least 700 amendments have been proposed to modify or abolish the Electoral College. [25]
On Monday Dec. 19, 2016, the electors in each state met to vote for President and Vice President of the United States. Of the 538 Electoral College votes available, Donald J. Trump received 304 votes, Hillary Clinton received 227 votes, and seven votes went to others: three for Colin Powell, one for Faith Spotted Eagle, one for John Kasich, one for Ron Paul, and one for Bernie Sanders). On Dec. 22, 2016, the results were certified in all 50 states. On Jan. 6, 2017, a joint session of the US Congress met to certify the election results and Vice President Joe Biden, presiding as President of the Senate, read the certified vote tally. [21] [22]
For the 2020 election, electors are scheduled to meet and vote on Dec. 14, and deliver the results on Dec. 23. [23] A Sep. 2020 Gallup poll found 61% of Americans were in favor of abolishing the Electoral College, up 12 points from 2016. [24]

Read this excerpt from Little Women.
Money is a needful and precious thing,—and, when well used, a noble thing,—but I never want you to think it is the first or only prize to strive for. I'd rather see you poor men's wives, if you were happy, beloved, contented, than queens on thrones, without self- respect and peace.
Marmee tells her daughters this shortly after Meg returns from a fortnight with the well-to-do Moffats. Amy and Meg have both wanted to have nicer things and be a part of high society, but cannot because Father lost their wealth. Without marrying well, they will never have more than they do right now and will always have to work. Selecting either Meg or Amy as the focus of your answer, discuss whether either girl learns the lesson Marmee tries to teach them here. Use details to explain why they have or have not.
Answer:
I feel Meg will learn this lesson in a short amount of time.
Explanation:
Meg has just encountered the upper class, she has experienced what it is like in their shoes. Depending on how the interaction went will decide how Meg chooses to pursue her wish of being seen as a queen. I know from prior knowledge that Meg’s enjoyed herself but was embarrassed when her sister caught her acting as someone else.
Answer:
I think Meg learns a bit more about the lesson that Marmee teaches them
Explanation:
In the text, It says nothing about Amy being "helpful, or generous" but it does say that she wants to have nicer things and be a part of higher society.
In the text, it does say one thing about Meg. She returns with the well-to-do moffats. Which I think, she returned ONLY because of the well being of the moffats, which is a family. So she did something good in my opinion.
Although I am not sure of the meaning of, " She returns with the well-to-do moffats" So do please correct me if I am wrong

the delivery boy will bring my orders later. Active or Passive
Answer:
passive
Explanation:
Answer: GOOD LUCK!!..MENTION ME AS BRAINLIEST
Active
Explanation:
Active voice means that a sentence has a subject that acts upon its verb. Passive voice means that a subject is a recipient of a verb’s action. You may have learned that the passive voice is weak and incorrect, but it isn’t that simple. When used correctly and in moderation, the passive voice is fine.
In English grammar, verbs have five properties: voice, mood, tense, person, and number; here, we are concerned with voice. The two grammatical voices are active and passive.
EXTRA:
What’s the difference between active and passive voice?
Active voice
When the subject of a sentence performs the verb’s action, we say that the sentence is in the active voice. Sentences in the active voice have a strong, direct, and clear tone. Here are some short and straightforward examples of active voice.
Active voice examples
Monkeys adore bananas.
The cashier counted the money.
The dog chased the squirrel.
All three sentences have a basic active voice construction: subject, verb, and object. The subject monkey performs the action described by adore. The subject the cashier performs the action described by counted. The subject the dog performs the action described by chased. The subjects are doing, doing, doing—they take action in their sentences. The active voice reminds us of the popular Nike slogan, “Just Do It.”
Passive voice
A sentence is in the passive voice, on the other hand, when the subject is acted on by the verb. The passive voice is always constructed with a conjugated form of to be plus the verb’s past participle. Doing this usually generates a preposition as well. That sounds much more complicated than it is—passive voice is actually quite easy to detect

B. A person needs structure and support in order to form a good conscience and proper identity.
C. Hatred should always be met with hatred, and injury met with revenge.
D. Playing with life is a power that corrupts and can have terrible consequences.
Answer:
D. Playing with life is a power that corrupts and can have terrible consequences.
Explanation:
According to the excerpt from Frankenstein, Chapter 16, this is a story of Victor Frankenstein creating life in his laboratory.
However,he finds out that what he created is a monster and he attempts to flee.
The monster he created vows to destroy Victor and everything he holds dear.
The sentence that best describes a central theme of the text is that playing with life is a disruptive power and can have dire consequences, as shown in option D.
We can arrive at this answer because:
When Frankenstein decided to create life, he despised all the responsibility this entailed.When he rejected the creature he created, it had a series of dire consequences.Frankenstein rejected the life he created and the creature felt slighted and a victim of horrible loneliness.This caused him to cause a series of problems, which harmed Frankenstein and the people around him.Although the violent acts were provoked by the creature, it was Frankenstein's rejection that provoked it. This region arose from Frankenstein's irresponsibility in playing with life.
This question is about chapter 16 of "Frankenstein."

Answer:
The use of expert quotes, and a personal example followed by a research study gives context to the idea of mob mentality and helps readers understand how it happens.
Explanation:
This question refers to the 2014 text "When Good People Do Bad Things" by Ann Trafton. In this text, the author talks about a phenomenon known as "mob mentality." Mob mentality occurs when people lose sight of their individual morality and behave in the way that the group they belong to behaves, whether this matches their own morals or not. Because of this psychological pressure, good people can be led to do bad things. The text gives a personal example that the author experienced, as well as information about scientific research and expert quotes. All of this helps reader understand the phenomenon better.

Compare both passages below. What is the purpose of each passage? How does each passage use supporting details to support its specific purpose?
Passage 1:
Your next tablet should be the upcoming G2 tablet, which is hitting stores this Thursday. Tired of the slow, glitchy performance of your old, tired tablet? Sick of having to install update after update, patch after patch, only to deal with the same subpar performance? Frustrated with the lack of exciting, useful apps for your tablet? Treat yourself to the new G2 tablet, on sale Thursday at all A-Mart locations near you!
Passage 2:
The new G2 tablet is seven inches tall, five inches wide, and a half-inch thick. It uses the Roboto operating system, which will allow many popular apps and programs to run on the machine. Most people bring their G2 tablets on the train or bus and take advantage of the included Wi-Fi card. This convenient, portable, and useful device will help users run their lives while running their errands. The G2 tablet is available for purchase at A-Mart starting this Thursday.
Answer:
Passage 1 and passage 2 are similar because both passages are promoting the new G2 tablet, They're different because passage 1 talks about the cons of your old tablet while passage 2 only talks about the pros of the G2 tablet. The purpose of both passages are to promote/endorse the G2 tablet. Passage 1 uses supporting details by saying "tired of the slow, glitchy performance of your old, tired tablet? " and backs it up by using examples of the cons of your old tablet as supporting details. Passage 2 uses supporting details by saying ''This convenient, portable, and useful device will help users run their lives while running their errands." and backs that statement up by telling the reader the pros of the tablet using that as supporting details.
