Directions
Address the debate on the Electoral College by using your research to answer the following questions. Your response to each question should be in a paragraph of your own words.
What reasons did the members of the Constitutional Convention have for creating the Electoral College? Use examples from your research to support your answer.
How have voters in America changed since the Constitution was created?
Should the Electoral College continue to be used? Why or why not? Use examples from your research to support your answer.
Answer:
This is gonna take awhile
Explanation:
1. Members of the constitutional convention created the electoral college so small states would have just as much of a voice as bigger states.
2. Yes. Since the constitution was written, Black men have been given the right to vote, women have been given the right to vote, and the voting age was changed from 21 to 18 (congress did that because if you are old enough to get drafted you are old enough to vote). Originally it used to be white men over the age of 21 and only them, so these were pretty big changes when these groups of people were given the right to vote.
2. Personally, I think we should get rid of the electoral college. Recently there has been much debate about it, this is because a president can win the presidency WITHOUT winning the majority of of the popular vote. If he or she wins 270 electoral votes they win the presidency and do not have to win the popular vote. But this question is more of your personal opinion, so your answer might be different from mine.

What were some challenges the Africans faced once they arrived on land?
Answer:
They faced the challenge of surviving in a society that had declared each of them to be private property and that was organized to maintain their subservient status. In the eyes of the law, they had no authority to make decisions about their own lives and could be bought, sold, tortured, rewarded, educated, or killed at a slaveholder's will. All the most crucial things in their lives-from the dignity of their daily labor to the valor of their resistance, from the comforts of family to the pursuit of art, music, and worship-all had to be accomplished in the face of slave society's attempt to deny their humanity.

Explanation:
There has been a mix-up in the lab, and you have been asked to decipher which vial of cell-free extract is from which experiment: one on glycolysis, one on the citric acid cycle, and one on the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis. Based on this data, identify which vial goes with which experiment and explain why.
The citric acid cycle can be associated with the first vial. Glycolysis can be associated with the second vial. The chemiosmosis can be combined with the third vial and the electron transport chain can be combined with the fourth vial.
We can arrive at this answer because:
The citric acid cycle is called the Krebs Cycle. Oxaloacetate is an intermediate compound in the Krebs cycle. The first vial has a high concentration of oxaloacetate and therefore we can associate it with the citric acid cycle.Pyruvate is the end product of glycolysis and has a high concentration in the second vial, which can be associated with glycolysis.The electron transport chain produces a large amount of ATP, which can be associated with the fourth vial which contains a large concentration of ATP.Chemosmosis is the movement of ions across the plasma membrane. It does not produce, nor does it promote a high concentration of any element, which justifies our association in the third vial.The vial and the products they contain can be seen in the figure below.
