The 12th Amendment states that in the event of a tie vote in the Electoral College, the House of Representatives would be entitled to select the new president of the United States. In this case, each of the 50 states in the House gets exactly one vote. The District of Columbia cannot vote. The first candidate to win the votes of any 26 states is the new president.

The Constitution most likely gives this job to the House of Representatives because the representatives are democratically elected and represent the will and interests of the people.

Because in the house of representatives there are 435 people which means there couldn't be a tie and if they were to give it to the senate there could be a tie.

The most compelling reason immigration rose in the United States during the Industrial Revolution was because people were follow
alexira [117]

Answer:

looking for personal freedom and jobs

Explanation:

Since the industry started to develop in the United States, the interest among the people to migrate to it increased even more. The reasons for this were that the United States had industry that was growing very quickly, so labor force was demanded, thus the job opportunities were plenty. Another reason for the migration was personal freedom. The United States were seen as the country in which the people can express themselves freely, and that if they work hard enough and are capable enough, they can easily progress and became part of the higher class, which of course was very attractive for the ordinary people.

In your opinion, was there any way for the colonies to make up with Great Britain? Could the Revolution have been avoided or was
ozzi
In my opinion there is no way for the colonies to make up with Great Britain noir was there any way to avoid the revolutionary war. If it had not been for the revolutionary war we would not have the independence that we do today. Although the British didn’t wrongfully tax us, they taxed us too much. Not only did they tax us during the stamp act of 1773 but they also taxed us during the coersive acts as well. Although the stamp act lowered the taxation from sixpence to three, technically it was more because we never had to pay taxes in the first place. The Coercive Acts pushed the colonists to rebel further. The acts restricted the colonists more than they were already. They were restricted from using the Boston Harbor until the city paid for the tea that they threw over the boat. Because the harbor was closed, there could be no trading. Having no trade hurt the Bostonians and their trade business. None of their imports could come in, and none of their exports could go out. So all in all the revolutionary war was inevitable and could not be avoided. (Hopefully that works u might wanna spiff it up a bit)

After world war 1, how did the US economy compare to that of Germany?
vodomira [7]
The United States's recession was for only seven months and eventually lead to the Great Depression in 1929. On the other hand, Germany was much harder due to their debts that are needed to be paid and that was because of the Treaty of Versailles that obliged the Germany to pay the Allied Powers its debt.

4. Why did Mayor William Alvord veto the Pigtail Ordinance?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

The Pigtail Ordinance was an 1873 law intended to force prisoners in San Francisco, California to have their hair cut within an inch of the scalp. While the law did not discriminate between races, it affected Han Chinese prisoners in particular, as it meant they would have their queue, a waist-long, braided pigtail, cut off. The proposal passed by a narrow margin through the Board of Supervisors in 1873 but was not enacted until 1876.
