Which statement best describes the result of the election of 1824? No candidate received a majority in the election so the elect

oral college had to revote. There were only two candidates running for President of the United States. Because no one met the constitutional requirement for winning, the election was decided in the House of Representatives. Henry Clay knew he would not win so he threw his support to Andrew Jackson, which made him the next President of the United States.

Correct answer:  Because no one met the constitutional requirement for winning, the election was decided in the House of Representatives.

Historical context:

In the presidential election of 1824, Andrew Jackson won the most popular votes (43%) and won the most electoral votes also.  But since no one had attained a majority of electoral votes, the decision was given to the US House of Representatives, which named John Quincy Adams as president.  Jackson accused Adams and Speaker of the House Henry Clay of what he called "a corrupt bargain."

Four years later, when Jackson ran for president again in 1828, he pulled no punches.  The 1828 presidential campaign (which was won by Jackson) was  nasty, dirty affair in which all sorts of personal "mudslinging" attacks were publicized between the candidates.  That set a precedent for the sort of negative politics we've been seeing ever since.

How might Europe be different if the Black Plague had never occurred
allochka39001 [22]

If the plague, also referred to as ''black death'', didn't occurred in Europe, the continent would have had a much larger population for starters. Because of the plague and the huge loss of population, Europe faced huge problems from social, economic, and military perspective, but if it hadn't occurred, Europe would have been much stronger and the progress of the continent would have been evident and bigger earlier in time. Considering the European colonialism, it was also going to have a huge global effect because there was going to be a much larger number of people migrating into the European colonies later on.

The _____ limits the actions of government leaders.
GenaCL600 [577]
That's pretty vague. What country? A liberal republic? A political constitutionalist nation? The people? The Constitution? The Supreme Court? The budget? The budget does a pretty good job of limiting political action!
