1. It removes states from the race, electoral campaigning isn’t done in California, Idaho, Washington,etc because they are only done by majority vote.

2. Makes it possible to have a tie. If there is a tie the vote goes to the legislators but only majority of legislators are needed to pick the president, this did happen in the race between Burr and Jefferson.

3. It eliminates third parties. There is a winner takes all system with electoral votes. 1992 Perot won 18.9% of votes as a third party candidate but got no electoral votes which make him lose to Clinton.

4. If electoral votes weren’t in the constitution it possibly could be unconstitutional. State mandated districts should be equal to population, so everyone’s votes would count the same in state elections.

5. Put direct elections at same standards as local and state level. Voters vote for local, state, and congress that effect the outcomes of elections but the electoral vote can change the outcome of those elections because it’s not just up to the people

dear friend:

i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,

d. i assume the underlined word is "role." reformat if it isn't.

explanation:

role is closest to part because when replacing words, "playing a vital decision," "playing a vital activity," and "playing a vital dollar" don't make logical sense. the only meaningful choice is "playing a vital part."

this fits one of merriam-webster's definitions of role: "a function or part performed especially in a particular operation or process."
