The "American standard of living" completely transformed during the mind-twentieth century,
specifically the 1950s. It was a decade of reverence for the esteemed economic system of capitalism
after a decade of horrendous war. Coming out of the Second World War, the 1950s symbolized a
new period of ultimate economic expansion, relatively stable costs and prices, and a lowering
unemployment rate- all leading up to a "golden age of capitalism" and an increased "American
standard of living". (Foner 991) This increased standard of living only came through however, due to
increasing wages for the common man and average citizen. Between 1946 and 1960, the nation's
gross product was merely doubled and because of that, this new generation of Americans was finally
better off than their parents and previous ancestors. As Foner points out, "about 60 percent of
Americans enjoyed what the government defined as a middle-class standard of living." (991) In all
facets of life, nutrition, shelter, income, education, and even leisure, the majority of Americans were
better off. Most of these middle-class Americans now had money to spare, or used that money to
enjoy the finer innovations that came along with this new standard, including television, airconditioning,
and even air travel. In the end, not only did the poverty rate in America decrease during
this decade, but also the basic standard of living for the average American was drastically advanced

Which of the following is the most important political result of the election of 1800? (5 points)
Brut [27]

Answer: D

Explanation: An extraordinary amount of things had changed on this decade. The Democratic-Republicans had essentially expanded the old Anti-Federalist alliance. Above all, urban specialists and craftsmen who had bolstered the Constitution amid sanction and who had generally upheld Adams in 1796 currently joined the Jeffersonians. Additionally, key pioneers like James Madison had changed his political position by 1800.

Madison presently rose as the ablest party coordinator among the Republicans. At base, the Democratic-Republicans trusted that administration should have been comprehensively responsible to the general population. Their alliance and beliefs would overwhelm American governmental issues well into the nineteenth century.
