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").

Which two of the following are notable achievements of the Maya?
BARSIC [14]

creating a hieroglyphic writing system

inventing an accurate calendar system

The Maya were a pre-Columbian people who inhabited the region of Mesoamerica (present-day Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, etc.). They peaked during the period from 250 AD to 900 AD, known as the Classic Period. The Maya are known to have had one of the most sophisticated pre-Columbian civilizations. In addition, they developed large cities and had advanced knowledge in areas such as mathematics. After 900 A.D., the Maya went into decline, and their cities emptied out.

The Maya became well known for having very advanced knowledge in areas such as Astronomy and Mathematics. In the religious field, the Maya were polytheists, that is, they believed in several gods and had human sacrifice as a very important ritualistic practice. These sacrifices were also of considerable political importance to these people.

Politically, they were organized in city-states, which means that the Maya never formed an empire with consolidated borders. The power of kings extended, exclusively, over the domains of their cities and satellite cities, if any. They survived from agriculture, and their main food was corn.
