Which statement best summarizes the "concurrent majority," an idea
advanced by John C. Calhoun to protect slavery in the 19th century?
O A Democratic majority was a threat to the Whig minority.
Congress should represent the majority opinion, to prevent
minority groups from seizing power.
O
A minority should leave a political community if the majority
infringes upon its rights.
The majority's interests should be offset with measures that
protect regional minority interests.

Answer:

D) The majority's interests should be offset with measures that protect regional minority interests.

Explanation:

John C. Calhoun proposed the concurrent majority in the 19th century to defend slavery. Protecting regional minority interests should offset dominant interests. This would ensure that the minority's concerns are considered and that there is a power balance. Calhoun warned that if southern interests weren't preserved, northern states could outvote them on any subject. This would render the South impotent and end slavery. The concurrent majority helped sustain slavery despite mounting resistance. Slavery was abolished in the U.S.

Essential Question: Should the Electoral College Be Abolished?
The 2000 election and its aftermath prompted renewed debate over our
system for electing the President and Vice President
By Kay Maxwell, Robert Hardaway
YES
When the Constitution was written, the typical voter had few opportunities to learn about presidential candidates, so
the job of choosing the President was given to the Electoral College: Electors, who were appointed by their states.
were better educated than average citizens, who were not thought capable of making an informed choice.
Today, with universal education, TV, radio, newspapers, and the Internet, voters can learn about candidates for
themselves. And they should be trusted to choose their President.
The Electoral College is unfair in several ways. First, it gives more weight to votes cast in small states. (Each state's
electoral votes are equal to the number of members it has in the House and Senate combined.) Second, because the
Electoral College is "winner take all" in all but two states (Maine and Nebraska), people who disagree with the
majority in their state are not represented. Finally, the system allows the election of a President who does not have
the support of a majority of voters.
Without the Electoral College, candidates would campaign to get as many individual votes as possible in every state,
instead of focusing on states that provide key electoral votes. Each vote would make a difference and voters would
diel they truly had a stake in the elections, which could lead to increasted voting across the country. With a system of
direct election, all votes would be equally important and equally sought after. We need to abolish the Electoral
College and make our presidential elections one person, one vote.
