Answer: PREDESTINATION

Explanation:

John Calvin taught that salvation was entirely by God's grace, but his emphasis was on what that meant to our understanding of God.  He made the key factor all about God's glory.  As summarized by Evangelical Focus, "The real marvel of justification in Calvin’s thought was not that a sinner found himself (herself) pardoned from all iniquity but rather that God was being glorified through the salvation of such a transgressor.  "   So Calvin's emphasis in his teaching regarding salvation was as much about the glory of God as it was about the grace of God.  

Calvin's central emphasis was on the sovereignty of God.   Sovereignty means God is in charge and whatever he determines is final.  This showed itself especially in Calvin's teaching on predestination -- meaning that God decided in advance which persons would be saved and which would not.  Calvin taught that God chose from eternity the persons he would bring to heaven and the persons he would condemn to hell.  He saw this as a testimony to God's sovereign power.  In Calvin's theology, only God has freedom of choice; human beings do not.

The Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution, adopted in 1804: required the electoral college to vote separately for president and
Andru [333]

Answer:

The Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution, adopted in 1804, required the Electoral College to vote separately for president and vicepresident.

Until then, the Electoral College indirectly elected the vice president of the United States: while the president obtained the majority of the electoral votes, the candidate who finished second acceded to the vice presidency. Thus, political disputes were generated because many times it could happen that these candidates did not have similar political plans, or even didn't belong to the same party. With the approval of this Amendment, the vice president moved to integrate the presidential ballot, with which the voters had to start choosing candidates for both positions, and not only for the presidency.
