What is the thesis statement in the following paragraph?
Being a person of politics yourself, you of all people should know that many compromises have been made over the course of the establishment of the United States. However, some of the compromises, like the electoral college, were made because of factors in the past and are now not needed in today’s modern democracy. While the electoral college once worked as a compromise in the past, it is an archaic system that unfairly represents the votes of citizens all across the nation, instead a popular vote should instead be utilized to fairly choose the people of power in this country and would better represent voters’ opinions.

What are the claim, warrants, and impacts of the following argument?
The electoral college system is unfair and outdated. States that are larger in population have more electoral votes than states with smaller populations. Candidates then only go to states with the high populations because winning those states will net them more electoral votes. As a result of this process, the states with high amounts of electoral votes have the most say over what occurs in our country.
C: The electoral college system is unfair and outdated.
W: States that are larger in population have more electoral votes than states with smaller populations.
W: Candidates then only go to states with the high populations because winning those states will net them more electoral votes.

In this paragraph, which sentences are examples of elaboration?
To start this off, if our president was decided by a popular vote, our president might not be the best thing for our country. As stated in the third article, paragraph 20, “The winner-take-all method of awarding electoral votes induces the candidates... to focus their campaign efforts on the toss-up states.” As you know, toss-up state’s make the final vote. Therefore, people in these states are more likely to pay close attention to the campaign, and they will be the ones with the most information. If it were up to popular vote, then anyone over the age of 18 could randomly pick a winner. Let’s be honest, the majority of eighteen year old’s will vote on whoever their friends or family vote for, or even the candidate representing their group (Democratic or Republic). Many people, if the president was decided by popular vote, would make an uneducated decision on one of the canidates, not studying their choices as much as one would with the Electoral College system in place.
