On this day in 1789, George Washington becomes the first and only president to be unanimously elected by the Electoral College. He repeated this notable feat on the same day in 1792.
The peculiarities of early American voting procedure meant that although Washington won unanimous election, he still had a runner-up, John Adams, who served as vice president during both of Washington’s terms. Electors in what is now called the Electoral College named two choices for president. They each cast two ballots without noting a distinction between their choice for president and vice president. Washington was chosen by all of the electors and therefore is considered to have been unanimously elected. Of those also named on the electors’ ballots, Adams had the most votes and became vice president.
Although Washington’s overwhelming popularity prevented problems in 1789 and 1792, this procedure caused great difficulty in the elections of 1796 and 1800. In 1796, Federalist supporters of John Adams cast only one of their two votes in an effort to ensure that Adams would win the presidency without giving votes to any of the other candidates. This led to a situation in which the Federalist Adams won the highest number of votes and became president, but Thomas Jefferson, the opposing Democratic-Republican candidate, came in second and therefore became his opponent’s vice president.
In 1800, the system led to a tie between the Democratic-Republican candidates for president and vice president, Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr. This sent the vote to the House of Representatives, where Federalists voted for Burr instead of Jefferson, whom they despised. As a result, the Congressional vote ended in a tie 35 times before the Federalists decided to hand in blank ballots and concede the White House to Jefferson.
In 1804, the 12th Amendment to the Constitution ended this particular form of electoral chaos by stipulating that separate votes be cast for president and vice president.
Hope this helped!!!
Time will tell the relevance of the Second Amendment in 50 years. Nobody will know what will occur in 50 years, whether there will still be humanity left or not. However, we can always be sure of one thing. For as long as there will be the United States, and so long as the nation is not in turmoil, we can safely assume that the 2nd Amendment will be as relevant as ever. The 2nd Amendment is what guarantees each of the other rights that the American citizens hold. Without the 2nd Amendment, the government, especially under Democratic leadership, will completely take control of each and every citizens lives, and will turn this place into not only a totalitarian communism, but destroy the livelihood of all of us. Without the relevance and us taking direct action to keep the 2nd Amendment relevant, we will soon see a degradation of the quality of life for not only ourselves, but the generations to follow.

C because the key word effect so answer c say's some thingthing about it "establish" meaning later on, also stock exchange would be something major because it allowed them to have new things they could never get in there own country.
I believe it is B. The purpose establishment of the League of Nations was to resolve international conflicts without war.
Choice A doesn't really make sense because neutral nations don't join war alliances; they remain neutral. Choice C and D actually would lead to more wars because Germany was bitter about being forced to accept the defeat. They further had to pay for the reparations, which wouldn't make anyone happy.
Your answer would be be D). He targeted and attacked various people.

What Joseph McCarthy did was hunt down people in the government, or in other words, he made false accusations that some of the government employees were communist, those people being in the State Department and the U.S Army. He targeted people in the government and the army. During their time when people were against Communism, people actually believed what he said and he gained a lot of followers because of it.
