History

Yuki888 [10]3 years ago

Answer:

The US presidential election of 2000 was the contest between the Democratic candidate Al Gore, at that time vice president, and the Republican candidate George W. Bush, for that then governor of Texas and son of former President George HW Bush (1989-1993) . Bill Clinton, the outgoing president, vacated the position of president after having served a maximum of two periods allowed by the Twenty-Second Amendment. Bush won the hard-fought election on Tuesday, November 7, with 271 electoral votes against Gore's 266 (with one translucent vote abstained in the official recount). During the elections the controversy arose in who had won the 25 electoral votes of Florida (and, therefore, the Presidency), the process of recounting in that state, and that the losing candidate had received 543,895 popular votes more than the winner.

In the US system of presidential elections, the electoral vote determines the winner, and Bush won this account, although Gore received the highest number of votes (the so-called "popular vote").

What is the "contradiction" of the 1920s?
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

But the 1920s were an age of extreme contradiction. The unmatched prosperity and cultural advancement was accompanied by intense social unrest and reaction. The same decade that bore witness to urbanism and modernism also introduced the Ku Klux Klan, Prohibition, nativism, and religious fundamentalism.

Why was hammurabi's laws important to historians
weeeeeb [17]
The 282 laws are one of the earliest and more complete written legal codes from ancient times. The codes have served as a model for establishing justice in other cultures and are believed to have influenced laws established by Hebrew scribes, including those in the Book of Exodus. The codes were originally carved into a massive monolith of black diorite, eight feet high. Lost for centuries after the fall of Babylon in 1595 BCE, the pillar was rediscovered in ruins of the Elamite city of Susa in 1901.
