The election of 1800 highlighted certain flaws in the US voting system. Some of those flaws were addressed by the Twelfth Amendment. But other flaws, including those related to the Electoral College, have continued to be debated. The following activity will help strengthen your understanding of the Electoral College.
Part A
The framers of the US Constitution had to choose from many possible methods for electing a president. Making this choice was a monumental task for the Constitutional Convention of 1787. This gathering of representatives from the states ended up proposing and voting on 60 different plans. In the end, they chose the Electoral College system. The elections of 1800, 1824, 1876, and 2000, all show some of the flaws in this solution.
Over the years, hundreds of bills have been proposed to change or replace the Electoral College. Read more about the Electoral College. As you read, pay attention to the discussion of the popular vote. Under a popular vote, Americans would vote directly for the president rather than indirectly through the Electoral College. After reading about the Electoral College, answer the following questions.
Why did the framers of the Constitution decide against a system that directly elected the president by popular vote?
Answer:
The Framers thought that this was necessary because they wanted to avoid having a government or a part of government that was too powerful. The Framers were still worried about the idea of a part of government taking too much power. They were afraid the executive might become a monarch.
Explanation:
Answer:
If the president were directly elected by popular vote, then the states with a relatively smaller population would have less influence in the election. The representatives of the small states felt that a popular vote system would weaken their states’ influence in the nation’s new government.

what is the primary purpose of the supreme clause?
Answer:
The supremacy clause (article 4, section 2 of the constitution), establishes that federal law, supreme court decisions, and US treaties — i.e., anything decided on a national level — supersedes anything decided on a state or local level. The point is to make sure that states do not subvert national interests. For instance, if the US goes to war with another nation and sets up a trade embargo, and individual state should not be allowed to pass laws which allow it to trade with the enemy; that would damage the ability of the nation to fight its war.

Define progressive era (in your own words)
Answer:
The period of US history from the 1890s to the 1920s is usually referred to as the Progressive Era, an era of intense social and political reform aimed at making progress toward a better society.
Explanation:
Cut out some parts :)
Answer: The Progressive Era was a period of widespread social activism and political reform across the United States, from the 1890s to 1920s . The main objective of the Progressive movement was eliminating corruption in government. The movement primarily targeted political machines and their bosses. By taking down these corrupt representatives in office a further means of direct democracy would be established. They also sought regulation of monopolies and corporations through antitrust laws. These antitrust laws were seen as a way to promote equal competition for the advantage of consumers. Many progressives supported Prohibition in the United States in order to destroy the political power of local bosses based in saloons. At the same time, women's suffrage was promoted to bring a "purer" female vote into the arena. A second theme was building an Efficiency Movement in every sector that could identify old ways that needed modernizing, and bring to bear scientific, medical and engineering solutions; a key part of the efficiency movement was scientific management, or "Taylorism".

What is the South Pass? Narrow path in the Sierra Nevada mountains Trail used by mountain goats in winter Twenty-mile wide path in the Rocky Mountains Underground trail from Colorado to Mexico
Answer:
the south pass is the collective term for two mountain passes on the Continental Divide, in the Rocky Mountains in southwestern Wyoming. ... South Pass is the lowest point on the Continental Divide between the Central and Southern Rocky Mountains.
Explanation:
South pass is the twenty-mile wide path in the Rocky Mountains. Thus, option C is the correct option.
What is the South Pass?Perhaps the most significant landform along the emigrant paths was South Pass, a 20 mile wide, gently sloping opening in the Rocky Rockies. By creating a path for wagons to cross the Continental Divide, it allowed for the colonization of the West. This saddle was utilized by everyone who traveled down the Oregon Trail in Wyoming. It was covered in sagebrush and grass.
As hundreds of wagon wheels and cattle hooves slowly eroded the earth, a wide and deep trail was formed. This area was traversed by the Oregon, California, Mormon Pioneer, and Pony Express National Historic Trails. These still-visible ruts are preserved by the South Pass National Historic Landmark, which is overseen by the Bureau of Land Management. The public is welcome to visit the landmark for free.
