Just a note to the stopping distances of a vehicle....these facts and figures are for a driver who is alert and well rested, in good health and not impaired by alcohol or medication. Weather and road conditions, as well as type of vehicle and weight of load being carried can also affect these stopping distance.
The Electoral College is a process, not a place. The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens.
White entertainers often performed in blackface instead of allowing African-Americans on stage. Women were not accepted in most professions. Neither group was allowed to step into a voting booth. It wasn't until 1869, when the Fifthteenth Amendment was ratified, that males of all races got the vote. It took another 50 years, with the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, for women to finally get suffrage. The Twenty-Third Amendment gave limited voting rights to the residents of Washington D.C. Then the 24th Amendment banned poll taxes that some states used to chase ethnic and poor people away from the ballot box. In some places, people needed to own property to vote-not anymore.
