America is one of the countries with the highest obesity rate, now driving a car has nothing to do with your weight, but it has something to do with your mind. When driving a car you have to be alert. Not only for yourself but for others around you. When I drive my mother always tells me to watch myself and the people around me, because you may be paying attention, but others might not be. When growing up getting and driving a car at 16 is almost every teenagers dream, but how will the future teenagers of the world get that experience if we have driverless vehicles? When I got my license it was a feeling of accomplishment.

8e38ba40da40	7C8094BF63DE	There are many elements that play into the reasoning for this.

The Electoral College makes sure that the "majority" of voters doesn't decide an election and everyone has a say.

What have Richard NIxon, Jimmy Carter, and Bob Dole, all in their time agreed on? The Electoral College. The Electoral College is not a place, its a process. By the passage of source 1 , the founding fathers established the Electoral College as a compromise, between election of the President by a vote in Congress and the election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens.

The electoral college consists of 538 electors which means a majority of 270 electoral votes are required to elect the president.

In todays world we have machines to vacum our floor, and wash our dishes. Now we want cars to drive us places? The world is getting lazy. America is one of the countries with the highest obesity rate, now driving a car has nothing to do with your weight, but it has something to do with your mind. When driving a car you have to be alert. Not only for yourself but for others around you. When I drive my mother always tells me to watch myself and the people around me, because you may be paying attention, but others might not be. When growing up getting and driving a car at 16 is almost every teenagers dream, but how will the future teenagers of the world get that experience if we have driverless vehicles? When I got my license it was a feeling of accomplishment. I had read that long drivers manual forover a month and when I took both of those test I was ready, but with a driverless car will a person even get that feelling? Will they even need a license or even a car of their own?

Presidential candidates focus on gaining the majority vote of large states in order to obtain more electors. A large state such as California containing over 35 million voters should have as much of a say in electing a president as a small state like Wyoming only containing 500,000 voters. The Electoral College makes sure that the "majority" of voters doesn't decide an election and everyone has a say. The "winner takes all" system evens out the playing field for all those little states who want just as much of a say in determining a new president as a large one does.
