How was the 2000 presidential election ultimately decided?

History
1 answer:
Solnce55 [7]3 years ago
3 0

Correct answer:

<h2>C. The US Supreme Court ruled that George Bush won Florida and the presidency.</h2>

Further details:

The 2000 election was extremely close, and the voting in Florida was extremely close. Ultimately, the outcome in Florida would determine the outcome of the nation's election for president. George W. Bush led the vote count on election night by 1,784 votes. That was a narrow enough lead to trigger an automatic machine recount of all ballots. When the machine recount was done, the actual lead for Bush was only 900 votes. The other candidate, Al Gore, was able to use Florida state law to request manual recounting of ballots in four key counties. But because the manual recounts were taking more time than the state law allowed, Gore petitioned the Florida Supreme Court to extend the time, so that those recounts could continue. It was the Bush campaign that appealed to the US Supreme Court, and the US Supreme Court stopped the recount process. When that happened, Florida's electoral votes (and with them, the election win) were awarded to Bush.

Were groups that advocated the use of violence in the 1960s justified in doing so? Why or why not?
ANTONII [103]

Answer: Very few groups in the 1960s advocated violence, except the US government, in the form of military adventure, where they went far beyond advocating. A total of about 1,353,000 deaths occurred on all sides in the Vietnam war. Then there was/is the Klu Klux Klan. We need to be watchful even now. The Weathermen were a small organization and they claimed not to intend violence, but use it if “necessary.” The Black Panthers called themselves a party of “self defense.” Whether or how often individuals in the latter two groups deviated from their charters (if any) is hard to determine.

Anyway people can justify their actions of violence it doesn't mean it was justification for everybody.
