Is popular vote direct election?
Often, but not necessarily. We have a popular vote for president, but in each state, we are voting for slates of electors. That means that the state as a whole votes as a block. States don't HAVE to do this; Nebraska and Maine split their electors, and in the 2008 presidential election, Nebraska elected 4 of Senator McCain's electors, 1 of Senator Obama's.
Why did Jefferson call the election of 1800 a peaceful election?
Jefferson referred to his victory in the 1800 US Presidential election the "Second American Revolution". He called it that because the election finally swept President Adams and his Federalist Party out of power. The Federalists had largely controlled the whole Federal government since 1789; Washington was not a Federalist, but he had a tendency to go along with Federalist policies. So in 1801, when Jefferson took control, he was the first Democratic-Republican to have control of the government; he also had a friendly Congress to work with, as his party took control of both the House and the Senate.
Identify and explain two reasons why voter turnout has been higher in presidential elections than in midterm elections?
Some explanations include political efficacy, increase media coverage, election frequency. In plain English - the presidential election is a higher profile election as the job is higher profile and it's a position people more often are exposed to. The president is the international representative of the American people. In addition, the media is hyped over presidential elections. More money is spent and there is more at stake. The executive branch of the government - essentially, the president - is perceived as being on an even level with the legislative branch (Congress) and judicial (Supreme Court). Also, one congressman is important for one state, essentially. There are 438 of them for the whole country. However there is one president who is chosen by all and serves all.
How often does the US hold a general election?
The US holds a general election each year on Tuesday following the first Monday in November (the date could be as early as November 2, or as late as November 8). Many states allow early or absentee voting before this date. The term "general election" distinguishes the event from "primary elections," which are held in late winter or spring to select which party candidates will advance to the general election; or a "special election," which is held when an unexpected vacancy opens for an elected public office. "General election" doesn't necessarily mean "National Election" or "Presidential election," as many people believe. National elections for federal officials (Congress, President), occur every two years on even-numbered years. Presidential elections occur every four years, in years evenly divisible by four. "Mid-Term Elections" are held after a President has been in office two years, and are significant because one-third of the Senate and the entire 435-member House of Representatives stand for election at once. The results of a mid-term election can change the balance of power in the House, and in Congress as a whole.
How did the civil war affect the dred Scott decision?
