How long would it take to count to 1 million?

Assuming you counted one number per second, non-stop, until you reach 1,000,000, one million seconds is equal to just over eleven and a half days.


What did the delegates fear that one branch of the government would gain too much power?

This fear stemmed from their experiences with a government much like the one they planned, but with added years of corruption under its belt. Their hope and intent was to prevent these same issues; the fear I guess you could say is that they would never be able to proscribe a document that would do the job (a well founded fear given the current state of government today).


What did the US and Great Britain fight about in the second American Revolutionary war?

How were presidents originally chosen under the constitution?

The electors would each cast votes for two separate candidates. The votes would be tallied, and the President would be the candidate with the greatest number of votes, while the candidate with the second highest total would become Vice President. However, the President had to have a simple majority of the votes cast, or the election would be decided in the House of Representatives. Under the 12th Amendment (1804), electors would identify one vote for President and one for Vice President, normally ensuring that both would be elected from the same party.
