Amendment XII:

"The electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate;--The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted;--the person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President."

This amendment is important to me right now because this was the year of the election. This amendment explains how the president and vice president of the United States is chosen. This helps you to know the process as a whole and who is involved.

I CHOSE THIS PICTURE BECAUSE IT IS A REPRESENTATION OF THE ELECTORAL VOTES FROM THIS YEARS ELECTION.

In this picture you can see which states the republican candidate won and which states the democratic candidate won.

IN THE SECOND PICTURE IT EXPRESS A VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE BECAUSE VOTING IS THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE WHO YOU BELIEVE SHOULD BE IN THE HOUSE AND I STRONGLY FEEL IF YOU DO NOT VOTE THEN YOU SHOULD NOT COMPLAIN BECAUSE WE ALL NOW HOW THE RIGHT TO VOTE.
