Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr were candidates for president of the United States in 1800. True False

History
1 answer:
Marianna [84]3 years ago
5 0
The answer is: true! Jefferson and Burr were both candidates from the Democratic-Republican Party. This election took place prior to the institution of primaries and thus both Jefferson and Burr went up against the incumbent, John Adams, and Charles Pinckney. At this time, whoever secured the most electoral votes would win and whoever came in second would serve as the Vice President. 

This election took place prior to the passage of the 12th Amendment and thus electors within the Electoral College were able to cast <em>two </em>votes. A plan was hatched to ensure that Jefferson won one more electoral vote than Burr, but the plan was botched. The election then went to the House of Representatives where it was finally decided that Jefferson be president and Burr his vice president.

What reasons did Wilson give Congress for declaring war on Germany?.
joja [24]

President Wilson clearly referred to Germany's resumed submarine warfare as "a war against mankind" in his request to Congress to declare war on Germany on April 2. This conflict involves all countries. He also discussed the deceit of the Zimmermann Telegram and German espionage inside the United States.

What five factors led the US to join World War One?

  • These are the top five explanations for why America enlisted in World War One:
  • 'The Lusitania' Germany started using unrestricted submarine warfare in the Atlantic from the beginning of 1915.
  • American loans.
  • The German invasion of Belgium.
  • Unrestricted submarine warfare being brought back.
  • The telegram from Zimmerman

What did President Wilson want to do about the war?

  • It was Wilson's goal to keep America completely out of World War I, which began in 1914—and have the country serve as a peacemaker to other nations.
  • However, his efforts were largely unsuccessful; many countries failed to take seriously any of Wilson's offers to be a mediator.

Tensions that led to the French and Indian War were based on competition among
vazorg [7]
I believe the answer is B. The French and Indian was fought between Britain and France. A is incorrect because the French and Native Americans actually became allies during this war. C is incorrect because the colonies are run by European colonial powers. American Indian usually didn't fight over competition because they shared mostly everything.

How did Roger Sherman show his civic virtue
s2008m [1.1K]

The way that Roger Sherman showed is civic virtue was A. He created the Great Compromise by combining the Vir-ginia and New Jersey plans.

<h3>What did Roger Sherman do?</h3>

Roger Sherman was one of the founding fathers and he was instrumental in establishing the constitution when he came up with the Great Compromise.

The reason he did this was because he was opposed to the Vir-ginia plan which was developed by James Madison and called for both Houses of Congress to have representation that would be based on the size and population of a state.

Being from the small state of Connecticut, he knew that the plan would not favor small states and so he developed the Great Compromise. This plan meant that the Senate would have equal representation while the House of Representatives would have representation based on population.

In conclusion, option A is correct.
