Accepted Answer

### Question 8
# Brief Explanations:
To determine the true statement about the Electoral College:
- Option A: False. States have different electoral votes based on population (House reps) + senators (2 per state).
- Option B: True. Electoral votes = number of senators (2) + representatives (based on population).
- Option C: False. The state's electors (chosen via popular vote in most states) decide, not the state government.
- Option D: False. Larger - population states have more electoral votes (more representatives).
# Answer: B. Each state gets a number of electors equal to its number of senators and (plus) representatives

### Question 9
# Explanation:
## Step 1: Recall the formula for electoral votes
Electoral votes for a state = number of senators (2) + number of representatives in the House.
## Step 2: Calculate the electoral votes
Given the state has 25 representatives. So electoral votes = 2 + 25 = 27.
# Answer: A) 27

### Question 11

- Option D: Since A and B are wrong, D is wrong.
# Answer: C) Caucuses involve discussion and making recommendations while primaries involve voting

### Question 15
# Brief Explanations:

- Option A: A biased statement shows an individual's support (it's a leaning or preference in presentation).
