The census tracks the population in the United States by county. Then the government issues the number of electoral votes proportionally based on the states' populations. States which gain people gain electoral votes, while states who lose people, lose electoral votes. The US issues a census survey every 10 years.
c) the Articles of Confederation
The Articles of Confederation became the first "law of the land" for the United States in 1781, 4 years after it was created. However, it was not very effective. In 1787 plans were made to revise it, but politicians decided to do away with the Articles, creating the US Constitution, instead.
Answer:
The major political parties were polarized over monetary policy.
Explanation:
The Gilded Age politics which existed between 1870 and 1900 in America was also called the Third Party System and featured intense rivalry between the Democrats and Republicans of which the Republicans dominated the political sphere.
This period was riddled with corruption as government officials were more concerned with filling their pockets from public coffers and giving their supporters positions in government than actually working for the people.
From the question given, although the Republicans dominated the political process, the major political parties were polarized over monetary policy. The Republicans made monetary policies that would support businesses but was opposed by the Democrats who finally adopted the free silver platform.
