constituencies
(noun)
interest groups or fan bases
Examples of constituencies in the following topics:
-
Constituency
- These voters are a part of congress' constituency.
- In this model, constituents elect their representatives as delegates for their constituency.
- These delegates act only as a mouthpiece for the wishes of their constituency, and have no autonomy from the constituency.
- Constituents elect their representatives as 'trustees' (or 'entrust' them) for their constituency.
- Therefore, the constituency in smaller states such as Wyoming might be able to gain disproportionate influence.
-
Service to Constituents
- A major role for members of Congress is providing services to constituents.
- A major role for members of Congress is providing services to constituents.
- Constituents request assistance with problems.
- One academic described the complex intertwined relationship between lawmakers and constituents as "home style. "
- re-election, these are lawmakers who "never met a voter they did not like" and provide excellent constituent services
-
The Representation Function
- A major role for members of Congress is providing services to constituents.
- Constituents request assistance with problems.
- One academic described the complex intertwined relation between lawmakers and constituents as "home style. "
- First, is if they are generally motivated by reelection: these are lawmakers who never met a voter they did not like and provide excellent constituent services.
-
Formulas of Ionic Compounds
- An ionic formula must satisfy the octet rule for the constituent atoms and electric neutrality for the whole compound.
- In formula notation, the elements are represented by their chemical symbols followed by numeric subscripts that indicate the relative ratios of the constituent atoms.
- First, the charge on the constituent ions can be determined based on the transfer of valence electrons necessary in order to satisfy the octet rule.
- Generate the empirical formula of an ionic compound given its molecular constituents.
-
Alloys
- Alloy constituents are usually measured by mass.
- Physical properties (density, reactivity, conductivity) of an alloy may not differ greatly from those of its constituent elements, but its engineering properties (tensile strength and shear strength) may be substantially different.
- However, for most alloys, there is one particular proportion of constituents, known as the "eutectic mixture," at which the alloy has a unique melting point.
-
Electoral Districts
- An electoral district is a territorial subdivision whose members (constituents) elect one or more representatives to a legislative body.
- Generally, only voters who reside within the geographical bounds of an electoral district, the constituents, are permitted to vote in an election held there.
- The term "constituency" can be used to refer to an electoral district or to the body of eligible voters within the represented area.
- A safe seat is one that is very unlikely to be won by a rival politician due to the makeup of its constituency.
-
Complex and Synthetic Media
- In defined media all the chemical compounds are known, while undefined media has partially unknown chemical constituents.
- The term chemically defined medium was defined by Jayme and Smith as a 'Basal formulation which may also be protein-free and is comprised solely of biochemically-defined low molecular weight constituents.
-
Winning an Election: Majority, Plurality, and Proportional Representation
- The plurality voting system is a single-winner voting system often used to elect executive officers or to elect members of a legislative assembly that is based on single-member constituencies .
- This voting method is also used in multi-member constituencies in what is referred to as an exhaustive counting system where one member is elected at a time and the process repeated until the number of vacancies is filled.
- In political science, the use of the plurality voting system alongside multiple, single-winner constituencies to elect a multi-member body is often referred to as single-member district plurality (SMDP).
-
The Discovery of the Parts of the Atom
- Modern scientific usage denotes the atom as composed of constituent particles: the electron, the proton and the neutron.
- The constituent particles of an atom (each discovered independently) are: the electron, the proton and the neutron.
-
Ionic vs Covalent Bond Character
- Chemical compounds are frequently classified by the bonds between constituent atoms.
- The degree of ionic versus covalent character of a bond is determined by the difference in electronegativity between the constituent atoms.
