Answer:

In 1992, presidential candidate H. Ross Perot said that signing the NAFTA agreement would produce a "giant sucking sound" in the United States. He meant that NAFTA would make jobs in the United States go to Mexico, where laboral costs were lower, thus producing unemployment and poverty in the United States. In view of the events, 17 years later we can affirm that the fears of H. Ross Perot were never confirmed.

Over the past few years, discussions about the viability of the electoral college has taken center stage. We saw this with the e
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

In modern US politics, the Electoral College has become a huge issue among young voters. With some very controversial and close elections in recent years including that of George W Bush and Al Gore.

More recently Donald Trump won through an Electoral  college system even though his rival, Hilary Clinton had over 2 million more votes.

I personally believe that the Electoral College should not be abolished and it is simply because of the reason it was first introduced. Every State should have an equal say in the votes and no single State should be able to completely sway the election.

For example, California is by far, the largest State in the US by population. If we only go by the number of votes, California can easily swing the whole election. This is unfair for proper representation in the Parliament.

The risk of abolishing the Electoral college is that it would mean that only 2 or maybe 4 States might have complete control over the election process and smaller states will be left behind.

What did La Follette say ruined foreign trade.<br> HELP please NO links
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Hope this helps

Explanation:

  • <em>La Follette said. “We had, at the hands of Germany. Serious grievances.” He continued, “They had interfered with the right of American citizens to travel on the high seas – on ships loaded with munitions for Great Britain.” This was a partial exaggeration: not all ships the Germans sank had carried military cargoes. But La Follette pointed out – correctly – that the British ocean liner Lusitania had been carrying munitions to England in 1915 when a U-boat sank it, killing 1,193 people, including 123 Americans.</em>
  • <em />
  • <em>The crowd cheered La Follette, but the next day he found himself facing a nationwide backlash and a classic bit of “fake news.”</em>
  • <em />
  • <em />
  • <em>An Associated Press report on La Follette’s St. Paul speech, printed in hundreds of newspapers nationwide, misquoted him as saying that “We had no grievance” against Germany, while a New York Times headline declared, “La Follette Defends Lusitania Sinking.” Minnesota’s Republican governor announced La Follette’s statements would be investigated. One of the state’s senators, Frank Kellogg, brought a petition to the Senate from the Minnesota Public Safety Commission that denounced La Follette as “a teacher of disloyalty and sedition” and called for the Senate to expel him – which the Constitution allows with a two-thirds vote.</em>
  • <em />
  • <em>It was under these circumstances that La Follette addressed the crowded Senate floor. The galleries were packed with spectators eager to hear how the crusader known as “Fighting Bob” would respond to the outrage over his speech in St. Paul.</em>
  • <em />
  • <em>Instead of acknowledging the rancor, or the expulsion petition, La Follette delivered a sweeping defense of the right to free speech in wartime. Across the country, La Follette warned, governors, mayors and police were preventing or breaking up peaceful meetings about the war. Dissenters were being unlawfully arrested and jailed for no crime.</em>
