What are the advantages and disadvan.
tages of having the president chosen by
the people rather than the legislature?

Explanation:

If/when chosen by the people you get a more appealing outcome.

Because...

The determining factors are YOUR family, friends, and town-folk. It's the people you grew up with. So you all are aware of the same problems in your city/state and you are more than likely both thinking of the same solution.

Where as, if chosen by a legislature, you have a bunch of well payed senators who may not see all the things normal people do since they work and live indoors and no where near the problems most of the time. They don't care for the middle to lower classes. Most just care about the rich and how to make themselves better and wealthier. It sucks to see, and even more to be living in this kind of world but it's just how it is.

Glad I could help!!

i think it can have both positive and negative effects on businesses.

for example:

lets say you own a small business and taxes go up 4% that means it is going to cost your business more money to buy product to sell. but at the same time you make more money from the tax rise.

that is my theory.

more people will not obey the law or vice vice versa

explanation: the answer really speaks for itself if the number of prisoners are going up then that means that more people will not obey the law and if less people are going to prison then that means that more people are obeying the law.
