Electoral college
The electoral college elects the President, the congress and other things. Each state has a electoral number. The 12Th amendment assigns a certain number of electoral votes to each state. The number of electorates is the same number of congressman, one vote is given for each house member and each two votes for two senators. In 2000 the blue and red states were used to represent which states voted for the Democrats and which voted for the Republicans. The red states mostly vote for the Democratic party, and the blue states vote mostly for the Republican party. If the electoral college was abolished it would reduce the government representation of the small states. After they were done presenting there powerpoint then they played a Brain pop, after we saw the brain pop we took the quiz. I liked how they presented, I think they should've had a little bit more information. I enjoyed their presentation. :]
