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.

The correct answer is A) the expansion of Protestant evangelism.

The preaching described in the excerpt is an example of the expansion of Protestant evangelism.

One of the former fathers of the United States, Benjamin Franklin, wrote his memoirs of biography from 1771 to 1790. The book is divided into four parts where he describes moments of his life and the creation of America in such difficult moments. Benjamin Franklin died in 1790 and could never end his autobiography. In the excerpt above, Franklin describes the way preaching was done in the 1700s, in which people closely followed religious teachings that were commented everywhere.

Entertaining speech is used for these purposes:  bring people together at a social event, to be amusing and convince the audience to support a cause.

The purpose of this kind of speech is so simple: to amuse and entertain your audience. To convey an idea in a funny way so it could be clearly understood and accepted. So if you are attending a fundraising event where they are going to ask for your help and money, what a better way to do it with class, in a funny and amicable way.
