In the presidential election of 2000, Gov. George W. Bush lost the popular vote to former Vice President Al Gore but won the electoral vote for U.S. president. Bush won the presidency after a mandatory recount in Florida, and an additional hand recount ordered by the Florida Supreme Court was ruled unconstitutional.

Therefore the best answer choice is:
<span>The Supreme Court ordered a stop to the recount of votes in Florida and George W. Bush won the presidency although he lost the popular vote.</span>

Can nations avoid denying people their rights?

$\boxed{\underline{\bf \: ANSWER}}$

It actually depends upon the type of government followed in the nation. If it's a democratic government then, no, the nations cannot avoid denying people their rights because the leaders are elected by the people & if they want to rule again then they have to listen to the people. But, if we are speaking about a monarchy or dictatorship then the monarch or dictator has every right not to listen to the people as they are the supreme leader of the country. This happens when a group of people overthrow the government as well (present day Taliban in Afghanistan is a good example).
