What in the original electoral college illustrated that the framers did not anticipate political parties?

History

Brilliant_brown [7]3 years ago

In the original framework for the electoral college, electors cast two votes for president, and none for vice president. The candidate with the most votes would become president, while the one with the second-highest number of votes would become vice president.

Because the founders did not anticipate the creation of political parties, the president and vice president could be from different political parties. This was the case in 1796, when John Adams (Federalist Party) won the presidential election, with Thomas Jefferson (Democratic-Republican party) becoming vice president.

The arrangement became a problem in the 1800 election, where the Democratic-Republican party nominated Jefferson as president and Burr as vice president. Both candidates tied, and there was no way of constitutionally determining who would become president, even though Jefferson was the party’s favourite.

UNO [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. The Union strategy to gain control of the Mississippi, and cut the Confederacy in two parts, was successful at the battle of  Vicksburg.

Explanation:

The Battle of Vicksburg took place from May 19 to July 4, 1863 around the small town of Vicksburg, Mississippi. It was the last battle of the Second Vicksburg Campaign and is considered a crucial battle of the Civil War.

The battle began with two unsuccessful attacks by the Union's Tennessee army on the Confederate positions outside Vicksburg. Ulysses S. Grant then began to siege the city, which after six weeks and one day on Independence Day resulted in the surrender of the Confederate Mississippi Army defending the city. With the fall of Vicksburg, the Confederation lost its penultimate base on the Mississippi. With the subsequent surrender of Port Hudson, Louisiana, the entire Mississippi Valley was under Union control, and the Confederation was split in two.
