These two ideas became the Great Compromise, and this was what created our bicameral system. This bicameral system resulted in a two part branch: the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House of Representatives would be the larger half of congress with its members being decided by population. The Senate would be made of one-hundred members, two for each state. This was for equal representation for each state.
Under SV, there are two columns on the ballot paper one for voters to mark their first preference vote and one in which to make a second supplementary vote. Voters mark one ‘X’ in each column, although voters are not required to make a second choice if they do not wish to. All the first choices are then counted, and if a candidate has a majority, they are elected. In SV the candidate must achieve a majority, i.e. over 50%, of the votes.
Page 10 Sensitivity Analysis: Benefits: Based on the Benefits Sensitivity graphs above we can see that the priorities of the two alternatives I have chosen change in a similar manner. Moreover, it seems like the cut-off points for Political and Social impacts are approximately the same. Thus, at the beginning the benefits of rejecting TransCanada application are always higher but as we increase all priorities shown above, the benefits of accepting Keystone XL will surpass the ones of rejecting it. Opportunities: If we examine the Opportunities Sensitivity graphs we can see that they are almost identical to the ones we have under Benefits. The priorities of the two alternatives I have chosen change in a similar manner.
NASCAR has such a huge fan base you could market almost anything and find people that it would apply to but some companies target market might match better to who watches NASCAR. So out of NASCAR’s 75 million fans 60 percent of those are male and of course the other 40 percent is females. 32 percent are between the ages 18-34, 43 percent are 35-44, and the other 43 percent are 45 or older. 42 percent of NASCAR’s fan base makes 50,000 dollars or more every year, which happens to be more affluent than the US population. The complete income distribution is 29 percent make 30-50,000 dollars, 22 percent make 50-75,000 dollars, 12 percent make 75-100,000 dollars, and 8 percent make over 100,000 dollars every year.

Since 1946, the average loss in a president's first term is 25 seats in the House of Representatives and three seats in the Senate. Truman (in 1946) and Clinton (in 1994) both lost 54 House seats, while Johnson (in 1966) lost 48. Why not elect everybody at the same time? The American system is designed to be overlapping, both in terms of the powers of the different bodies and in terms of when people are elected to them. The House of Representatives is the larger of the two houses of Congress.

As stated in the first paragraph, public action committees are legally authorized groups with the main purpose of raising funds for contributing in a few ways such as campaigning or to political parties. In federalism with large amounts of government power and expenditure; interest groups, such as special interest groups, will be more successful considering they express their amount of influence through government spending. The higher the federal budget, the more those groups will be able to influence their interests. There is another group not exactly defined as an interest group, but has some of the same characteristics. This is a 527 group, and it is similar to PACs apart from the fact that they are a tax-exempt organization, not regulated by the FEC, and are not as limited contribution-wise as PACs
For example, if there are 5 seats available, the top 5 candidates who get the largest number of votes can win the seats. This is the simplest form of PR system in election, which differs from simple majority system that the only seat in a district is allocated to the one with highest number of votes. The reason why it promotes small parties is that within a district, even if some party is not popular enough to obtain most of the votes, a substantial number of votes will be enough for them to get into the parliament. For instance, Sweden has a multiparty system on a PR system
