This document discusses different voting systems used in elections, including first-past-the-post, supplementary vote, additional vote, and single transferable vote systems. First-past-the-post is used for UK House of Commons elections, where voters select one candidate and the candidate with the most votes wins. Proportional representation systems aim to allocate seats proportionally based on votes. The supplementary vote and additional vote systems allow voters to rank candidates, while single transferable vote uses multi-member constituencies and transfers votes from eliminated candidates.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
1. Voting systems in elections
• First past the post system
• Supplementary vote
system
• Additional vote system
• Single transferable vote
system
2. First-past-the-post system
• Used in elections for the House of Commons
• 1 seat per constituency
• Voters cast one
vote for the
candidate of their
choice
• The candidate
with the largest
number of votes is
elected
3. First past the post system
Advantages
• Close tie between
MP and constituency
• Tends to produce a
majority for the
party that gains most
seats
• Produces more
stable governments
with little need for
coalitions
Disadvantages
• Many seats are safe seats where
many voters may feel their votes
are ‘wasted’.
• Proportion of candidates for a
party elected is not in proportion
to votes cast
• A government can gain a large
majority of seats even though it
only gained a minority of votes
nationally
• Smaller parties tend to go
unrepresented
4. Proportional representation
• PR systems aim to ensure
that the number of
candidates elected for a
party is in proportion to the
number of votes cast.
• This tends to give a better
chance to smaller parties eg
the Green Party.
• Opponents of first-past-the-post claim that some kind
of system of proportional representation (PR) would be
fairer
5. Supplementary vote (SV) system
• Used for electing Mayor of
London
• Used for elections where there is
only one person to be elected
• Voters indicate first and second
choice candidates
• If a candidate receives a majority
of first choices then he/she is
elected
• If not, then all candidates apart
from top two are eliminated and
second choice votes redistributed
to remaining candidates
6. Supplementary vote (SV) system
Advantage
• A candidate cannot be elected who although
achieving the largest number of votes is
unpopular with the majority of voters
Disadvantage
• This system would not necessarily produce
proportional representation if it were used for
a whole parliament or assembly
7. Additional vote (AV+) system
• Used to elect members of the European Parliament,
the Scottish Parliament, the Welsh Assembly and
the Greater London Assembly
• Voters vote twice - first for a list of candidates who
they list in order of preference, they then also vote
for a party.
• If a candidate gains a majority he/she is elected if
not the second choices of the bottom candidate are
transferred to other candidates. This is repeated
until one candidate has a majority
• The second set of votes for the parties are then used to assess how a number
of remaining ‘top up’ seats are allocated to ensure that each party ends up with
seats in proportion to the votes they have received.
9. Additional vote (AV+) system
Advantages
• Tends to produce a legislature
where seats held by parties are
in proportion to votes cast
• Most of those elected are still
linked to a constituency
• Smaller parties which fail to get
elected in a constituency can
still achieve representation via
top up seats
Disadvantages
• Candidates
elected in top up
seats are not linked
to a particular
constituency
• More likelihood
of coalition
governments
10. Single transferable vote (STV) system
• Constituencies are usually multi-member –
typically 3-5 seats
• Voters number candidates in order of preference
• Counting votes in this system is a complex
process whereby the votes of candidates who
have achieved a quota and been elected as well
as those of candidates with too few votes are
transferred to other candidates until all seats
have been filled
• This system is not currently used in any UK
elections
11. Single transferable vote (STV) system
Advantages
• Tends to produce proportional
representation better than most
other systems
• Allows voters to vote for more than
one candidate eg may not want to
cast all votes for one party
Disadvantages
• Complex system to administer
• Constituencies are large so link
between representatives and voters
less close
