The purpose of the electoral college is that it's for electing the supposedly new president and vice president. Biased News are more focused on one side of the story and might encourage people to believe that the other side is made up of false information.

With the consitution, there were several more systems to expand upon. For instance, there are different ways in which communities are run. Congress can overrule the president's veto on a bill with a two-thirds vote. There is the legislative branch, executive branch, and judicial branch of the government. There are also 27 amendments in the constitution, which include freedom of speech, right to arms, pleading the fifth, getting a lawyer in court, voting at the age of 18, allowing women to vote, right to not be personally searched or have privacy invaded excessively without consent, and drinking at the age of 21. 

Elections have popular votes from citizens who are registered to vote, though there are cases in which there have been fraud or bribery. There are swing states that rely on popular votes in order to receive electoral votes. There are over 420 electoral votes, but a candidate only needs 270 of them to win an election. Electoral votes are from residents of specific states that are given the opportunity to contribute to the final decision. Electoral votes are what will get a candidate elected. Elections are held once every two years for the house of representatives and the senate. Presidential elections are every 4 years, as each term lasts 4 years. Judges can be given four to ten years in their job, depending on their level (there are associate, circuit, appellate, and supreme court judges). 

Bias news is very common. Details may be left out and articles may be one-sided. The more popular news networks are from democratic states such as New York, Illinois, California, and Washington. 

When it comes to writing essays, it is important to include indents for paragraphs of 5 or more sentences. The grammar and spelling may be checked multiple times. Wording should be concise and revised as much as possible.

A thesis statement often includes a claim or main idea. It may be implemented into an argument or story, and is stated in an introduction, linked back to throughout body paragraphs, and then restated in the conclusion.]]> 2020-11-20 22:15:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ebychowski1/bovzd9cdac62bnf7/wish/947281947 https://padlet.com/ebychowski1/bovzd9cdac62bnf7/wish/947340512 The constitution guarantees equal rights for every individual U.S. citizen, consisting of 7 different articles that clarify how the government operates.

An election is an opportunity for citizens to voice their opinions through the process of voting. 

Biases in news are where producers side towards a single perspective, whether holding a good or bad intention.

The concept of voting is a right for everyone over the age of 18, regardless of color, gender, sexuality, or religion, as long as they’re American citizens.

The electoral college is groups of people selected to represent their state. Since each state has two senators, every state starts with two electoral votes. Additional electoral votes are added based upon the amount of house of representatives each state has.

An essay can be based on factual evidence or different opinions.

A thesis statement is a claim that determines the main idea of an essay, usually located in the introduction paragraph. It allows the reader to have an understanding of the essay before proceeding on. ]]> 2020-11-20 22:52:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ebychowski1/bovzd9cdac62bnf7/wish/947340512 https://padlet.com/ebychowski1/bovzd9cdac62bnf7/wish/947341549

I know that it is organized into three parts, the preamble, the seven articles, and the amendments. 

Elections are when candidates want a certain role in something for example presidency. The candidates try to persuade and make arguments about why they are the better candidate. The election consists of votes.

My understanding of Bias News is that it is opinionated information. It is not always true and could be different due to a persons likings. It does not consider the preferences of other individuals. 

From my knowledge, the electoral college plays a big role in deciding the President. I know that there are a certain amount of electoral college votes based on the amount of members in the house of representatives and for its two senators. 

To write an essay is to put information gathered from different sources to write about a certain subject. Essays can be informational, or persuasive.
