Answer: 1. the Supreme Court played an important role in the final outcome
Explanation:One unique feature of the presidential election of 2000 between George W Bush and Al Gore is that 1. the Supreme Court played an important role in the final outcome. Normally, if the outcome of the presidential election is not clear, the final decision passes to the House of Representatives for a vote. However, in 2000 the mishandling and miscounting of ballots in Florida resulted in a law suit (Bush v. Gore) and thus the decision over who the electoral votes went to came down to a court decision rather than a House vote.
Since the Constitution was written in the 1770s there needs to be a law allowing it to change. As society becomes more evolved the constitution needs to be able to evolve with it. Many laws in the original constitution no longer apply so they have been removed to keep up with the times.
