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 is most likely the reason this engraving by paul revere of the boston massacre inflamed public opinion against the british?
zvonat [6]
The engraving done by Paul Revere represented the Boston Massacre. This was when four unarmed colonists were killed by members of the British army. This incident happened shortly after a series of taxes were put on the American colonists.

Paul Revere depicted this event in an engraving that shows the American colonists as being brutally murdered by the British army. In the engraving, all the British military members have guns while the colonists are standing their defenseless. This inflamed public opinion because it showed the British army as monsters who killed colonists without a cause.
