History
1 answer:
laila [671]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The need for amending the procedures set forth in the Constitution for electing a president and vice president were necessary because of the ambiguity in Article II, Section I. In just over a decade after the Constitution was ratified, there had been two presidential elections--the election of 1796 and the election of 1800--that had confusing outcomes.

In 1796, the president and vice president ended up coming from different parties. Then in 1800, there was a tie for president, and Congress almost didn't agree on a winner. It didn't take long before Congress saw the need to clarify the procedures with the 12th Amendment, and over the next 200 years, the need for a few more amendments dealing with the presidency became evident

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

2. What did socrates teach his students? Why did he get into trouble for this and what eventually happened to him?
trapecia [35]

Thus, it was an unjustifiable reason for Socrates' execution. Similar to the accusation of impiety, the charge of corrupting the youth is a vague and uncorroborated attack on Socrates, which could not have resulted in his execution by the Athenians in 399 B.C.E.
