Answer: the first election returns reached his family estate in Hyde Park, New York, on a November night in 1936, Franklin Delano Roosevelt leaned back in his wheelchair, his signature cigarette holder at a cocky angle, blew a smoke ring and cried “Wow!” His huge margin in New Haven signaled that he was being swept into a second term in the White House with the largest popular vote in history at the time and the best showing in the electoral college since James Monroe ran unopposed in 1820.
The outpouring of millions of ballots for the Democratic ticket reflected the enormous admiration for what FDR had achieved in less than four years. He had been inaugurated in March 1933 during perilous times—one-third of the workforce jobless, industry all but paralyzed, farmers desperate, most of the banks shut down—and in his first 100 days he had put through a series of measures that lifted the nation’s spirits. In 1933 workers and businessmen marched in spectacular parades to demonstrate their support for the National Recovery Administration (NRA), Roosevelt’s agency for industrial mobilization, symbolized by its emblem, the blue eagle. Farmers were grateful for government subsidies dispensed by the newly created Agricultural Adjustment Administration

Q 14. c) Simon Bolivar

Q 15. budding Romantic movement
The revolutions of 1830 and 1848 in Europe were caused by several different things. The increasing discontent of the aristocracy was one of those reasons, as the majority of the population was struggling, while few people were controlling the majority of the wealth, and on top of that were treating very badly toward the people. The nationalism also was a big reason, as the people wanted to unit and create strong nations, so that led to revolutions against the ones that were trying to stop this. The liberal spirit was also growing gradually, as the people wanted to have more rights and to enjoy the same things as the wealthier people, and to be treated equally, leading to revolt. The Romantic movement though had nothing to do with the revolutions, as it didn't caused any uprising of this type.
