A rule of constitutional law which gives the legislative branch of government to set the law, as opposed to the judicial branch (the courts). Women and men do not share identical experiences under capitalism because they are not equal. Women face exploitation as workers, but also sexual discrimination and oppression as women. In particular, women play a huge role in the capitalist nuclear family: Women"s private reproductive and domestic labour is crucial to ensuring capitalist have adequate supply of labour power. The belief that a woman"s nature and all of her possibilities is determined by her biology. It is a classification based on traits which are heredity. Votes are totaled on the basis of first choices marked and anyone who reaches the quota is declared elected. If not all positions are filled on the basis of first choice, the lowest vote- getter is dropped and their ballots are redistributed according to the second choice ranked on them.
