How exactly does the Electoral College work and why did the Founding Fathers choose this system for us to select the new president and vice president of the United States? As we know that years prior to this, the Founding Fathers and other colonists in early America fled Great Britain in hopes of a fresh start. Obviously, when setting up the government for this new country, they would not create it the same as it was in Great Britain. The Founding Fathers created a flawed system but has and…

Election Process: The process of him becoming president is most likely, due to the fact he is gaining more support through social media, democratic debates, etc. On April 30, 2015 during an address on Capitol Hill, he stated that he’s seeking to accept the presidential nomination of the democratic party, and announced, “I don't believe that the men and women who…

around the corner. Our leading candidates are Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Under normal circumstances I would choose to rant about Mr. Donald Trump, but Hillary Clinton, former United States Senator, First Lady, and United States Secretary of State, not to mention this is her second time running in a presidential election, and is leading the polls has brought me to advance to the other side of the aisle. She sounds like a highly qualified candidate, yet she has aspects that force me to…

the credibility or respect needed to win; and none of the Republicans are serious candidates. Bernie Sanders is the future of America because he is capable of leading this country in the right direction and should be the next president of the United States because of his unquestionable ethics, his vast political achievements, and the emotional connection he has with most Americans. Sanders can lead. As Mayor of Burlington he made improvements to notorious issues such as making housing much…

Throughout my 4 years at Booker T., I've met a variety of people, of whom, I never dreamed I'd ever come into contact with. Of those people, there is one person that really stands out to me. For the sake of her privacy, I wont reveal her name, I'll use a pseudo name (lat's say, Amanda). Amanda is an African American female in the theater cluster, she is a talented mime and even more talented costume designer. Amanda also happens to be a very far right winged republican with some of the most…

Just hearing his name brings up strong emotions in almost anyone, whether they’re positive or negative. These clashing views have brought up more than just debate.

In 1824, America saw its first ‘legendary’ election. With four, very worthy presidential candidates, including John Q. Adams, Andrew Jackson, William H. Crawford, and Henry Clay. Though it may have been the first ‘legendary’ election, it may have also been the first unjust and corrupt election. This election was a very tight one, John Quincy Adams received 84 electoral votes, whilst Jackson received 99. The reason why many Jacksonians saw this election as rotten was because, although Jackson…

However Hilary's inability to gain the country’s trust and her multiple email scandals vastly affected…

I know far too well the dangers of being surrounded by people who agree with me. In general, my life is based within one small bubble, which is my school. My current high school is incredibly small with only about 490 students in both middle and upper school. My graduating class is one of the largest in recent years and we only have around 69 people. My school has a reputation for being more “liberal” than the other private schools in the city. The majority of people at my school don't have…
