Another election is quite recent and it happened in 2000. In the elections between Al Gore, the Democratic candidate, and George Bush, the Republican candidate, the popular vote went to Al Gore, but the winner of the elections was George Bush because of the electoral votes. The elections were narrow and Florida votes were deciding on who the president would be. There was a lot of controversy and recounting and also the fact that Florida governor was Jeb Bush, George's brother, so many naturally accused them of rigging it. It went to the Supreme court and the votes were after a close struggle awarded to George Bush who became the president.

I needed help explaining the characteristics of party members and feeling regarding Hamiltons plan for both sides
Anna71 [15]
The Federalists wanted the wealthy and educated to lead the nation, focused on businesses and trading, and had a loose Constitution interpretation. The Anti-feds wanted the people of the nation to lead, focused more on agriculture, and wanted a strict interpretation of the Constitution. Federalists wanted Hamilton's plan for financial crisis to work because it would help their businesses. The opposing side were against it because they would be the ones who had to pay for the high tariffs.
