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.

The terms “New World,” and “discovery” are used often when describing this Age of Exploration era. Why might these terms not be
puteri [66]

Answer:

These terms may not have been the most appropriate because people, specifically Indians who discovered what we call America (we know them as American Indians/Native Americans). It was not a "New World" or "discovery" to anyone besides Christopher Columbus and his followers; people already knew about it. A term that may fit what he found better is "learning" or "exploration", but it is important to recognize that he did not find America himself.

Thomas Paine<em> (1737-1809)</em> <u>is one of the founding figures of the United States</u> due to his pamphlet<em> Common Sense</em>, and it's influence during the time of the American Revolution.

Answer 1.

  • <em>Thomas Paine</em> stated that England protected the 13 colonies for the sake of trade and dominion, he also points out that England would have protected any country for those same reasons because their only motive <em>was interest and not attachment </em>to the 13 colonies.

Answer 2.

  • Paine wrote on his pamphlet "Common Sense" that even if the colonies were related only through the Parent Country (England), <em>the true Parent or Mother Country of America was Europe</em>, because the New World was the asylum of civil and religious liberty from every part of Europe.  

Answer 3.

  • He wrote on his pamphlet Common Sense that <em>England brought prejudices to America</em>, an Englishman was superior simply by the fact that they were born in England even though the majority of the population on the colonies were born in America. He also wrote that the government used<em> tyrannical practices against the colonies. </em>

Answer 4.

  • Thomas Paine thought it was a proper time <em>to stop waiting four to five months for a petition to be reviewed</em> and that it made no sense to travel three or four thousand miles with a petition. He thought Britain had no rightful power in America's justice.

Answer 5.

  • He thought that the 13 colonies would make more progress and would be wealthier if they were independent from England, because the enemies the colonies were facing and stopped them from trading were enemies of England and not theirs. <em>If the colonies were independent they would be able to trade with countries like Spain and France.</em>

Answer 6.

  • Thomas Paine told the American people in Common Sense<u> that independence from Britain was possible.</u> He said that <em>if there had to be a king it would have to be the rule of law and not of a single man.</em> He proposed a free republic where any payment would go to the law because "the law is king".
