Wilson's presidential win in 1912 set a precedent in the fact that Wilson <u>won the electoral college but less than fifty percent of the popular vote</u>.

Historical context:

In the 1912 election, the Republican Party was divided. Its conservative wing supported President William Howard Taft for reelection. Theodore ("Teddy") Roosevelt, who had been President from 1901-1909, led the progressive wing of the Republicans. Ultimately, Roosevelt and his supporters objected to the nomination of Taft as the Republican candidate, and formed a 3rd party, the Progressive Party, with Roosevelt as their presidential candidate.  Roosevelt won 27% of the popular vote; Taft received 23% of the popular vote. Democratic candidate Woodrow Wilson got 42% of the popular vote, but was able to carry 40 states to win the Electoral College vote handily.

1. Why were the state and national governments' powers<br>limited?<br>​
Lunna [17]

Answer:  The federal government is very strong, with much power over the states, but at the same time, it is limited to the powers enumerated in the Constitution.  Powers not delegated to the federal government, nor prohibited to the states are reserved to the states or to the people.  Although the powers of the federal government are limited to those enumerated in the Constitution, those enumerated powers have been interpreted very broadly.  And under the supremacy clause of the Constitution, federal law is supreme over state law.  The Constitution also limits the powers of the states in relation to one another.  Because the United States Congress has been given the power to regulate interstate commerce, the states are limited in their ability to regulate or tax such commerce between them.
