Answer 1

The empty cell should be filled with the option c, An Electoral College, to decide the president, based on the number of electoral votes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The empty cell should be filled with the option c, An Electoral College, to decide the president, based on the number of electoral votes.

The Electoral College is a system in which the number of electors for each state is determined by the total number of senators and representatives that state has in the U.S. Congress. The electors are pledged to vote for a certain presidential candidate, and the candidate who receives a majority of electoral votes (270 or more) wins the presidency.

The Electoral College is unique to the United States and was established by the framers of the Constitution as a compromise between selecting the president by popular vote or by Congress. It is designed to give both small and large states a voice in the election process.
