The nominating process
The nominating process is the critical first step in the election process where the field of candidates is narrowed. There are three main nominating methods - caucuses and conventions where party members select candidates, and direct primaries where all voters can participate. The direct primary is now the principal nominating method in the US, allowing open participation by voters through open or closed primaries. Some candidates may also use petitions to gather voter signatures to get on the ballot.

Presidential selection and nominations
The document discusses the original process for electing the U.S. president established by the framers of the Constitution, how political parties emerged and changed this process, and the modern presidential nomination process. Originally, electors cast two votes for president and the top vote getter would win, with the runner up becoming vice president. The rise of parties in the 1790s exposed flaws, leading to the 12th Amendment requiring separate electoral college votes for president and vice president. Today, the two major parties use a mix of primaries and caucuses to select delegates who vote on candidates at the parties' national conventions.

The Voting Rights Acts of 1965 had a tremendously positive effect on African Americans' participation in government by:
1. Abolishing discriminatory voter registration laws and practices in many states, such as literacy tests and poll taxes, that had previously prevented many African Americans from registering to vote.
2. Authorizing federal oversight of voter registration and elections in states and local governments with a history of discrimination. This federal oversight ensured that African Americans in the South could finally exercise their right to vote free from intimidation and unfair barriers.
3. Dramatically increasing the number of registered African American voters and the number who turned out to vote. Within 5 years of the Voting Rights Act, voter registration and turnout among African Americans

Politicalparties 150305105626-conversion-gate01
The document discusses the two-party system in America and the roles and functions of political parties. It describes how the Republican and Democratic parties are the two main parties and how they choose candidates to run for office. It also discusses how third parties exist but rarely win elections. The document aims to explain what political parties are, their role in elections and government, and how citizens can learn about party platforms to determine which party they agree with most.
Electoral college
The document discusses the Electoral College system for electing the US President. It explains that the Founding Fathers established the Electoral College as a compromise between direct popular election and election by Congress. Electors cast votes in their state capitals to formally elect the President. While citizens vote for electors pledged to candidates, the electors' votes typically align with the state's popular vote.
Presidential selection and nominations
The document discusses the original process for electing the U.S. president established by the framers of the Constitution, how political parties emerged and changed this process, and the modern presidential nomination process. Originally, the framers intended electors to cast two votes for president and the top vote getter would win, with the runner up becoming vice president. However, the rise of political parties in the 1790s revealed flaws, leading to the 12th Amendment being passed in 1804 to have electors distinctly vote for president and vice president. Now, the two major parties hold nominating conventions where delegates choose a presidential candidate based on primary elections and caucuses held by the states.

Magleby chapter6 ppt
Political parties play several important roles in a democracy. They organize candidates to run for office and help mobilize voters through fundraising, campaigning and get-out-the-vote efforts. Parties also help structure government by determining who leads legislative committees and by providing an opposition party to check the majority. In the US, the two-party system has endured since the early 1800s, though the parties themselves have realigned around new issues approximately every 30-32 years, such as the Civil War and New Deal eras. Today, parties function as institutions that organize national conventions and platforms, operate at state and local levels, and play influential roles in all branches of government.
Political Parties (Chapter 9)
Political parties attempt to influence government by electing members to office to control government, whereas interest groups seek to influence policy on specific issues. Political parties are connected to voters and get their power from being elected. There are arguments that the US would benefit from stronger parties that provide clear choices to voters. The US has historically had a two-party system dominated by Democrats and Republicans, though other party systems occurred in the past. The electoral system of single-member districts and plurality voting provides incentives for just two major parties.

Assignment #1: Researching Congress Article I of the U.S. Constitution outlines the powers of Congress. The Founding Fathers saw Congress as the most important branch of government, and this is evident in the fact that the Constitution grants Congress the most powerful function of government – to make laws. Members of the House of Representatives are up for reelection every two years. The Founding Fathers developed this as a mechanism to ensure that this branch of government was accountable to the people and to prevent abuses to power (at the time it was the only part of the federal government that was directly elected, and the Founding Fathers had a bit of a trust issue with the public). Today, Congress has a whole has fallen out of public favor. The latest polling numbers put the Congressional job approval rating at around 12%. One would think that with approval ratings that low we would have constant turnover in the House of Representatives, when actually the opposite happens. In the 2014 election the incumbents were reelected in the House of Representatives at a rate of 95% (in 2010 it was 85%, in 2012 it was 90%, 95% in 2014, and 97% (!!) in 2016). Name recognition with voters is one of the big reasons why House members are reelected over and over again. For this assignment I want you to do your research so you know who your member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Note: Students each term accidently discuss their Florida Representative – be sure you are looking at your representative in Washington DC. Instructions: For this assignment please answer ALL the questions below. The format for this assignment will be a little different. You do not want to write this one as an essay. You will want to go and answer each part. (For example: 1. ANSWER 2. ANSWER). You are required to write in full sentences/paragraphs. You will not earn credit for bullet points or lists. The answers to these questions should be in your textbook or in the links I provide below. Have fun with your detective work.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
