What resulted from the demobilization of troops after world war i?
Fantom [35]
In the United States, there was a domino effect boom - we were primarily agrarian and when the military was demobilized there was a baby boom and many of the returning troops moved to cities and created an economic boom- they had just seen the great big world - they weren't going back to the farm and the small lives they lived before.  Europe was in need of a great many manufactured goods and we supplied a good portion of it and the US celebrated with new music, dance, fashion, ideals, and art - culturally America blossomed - a post war renaissance of sorts and to the victor goes the spoils attitude as artists, designers, musicians, composers, playwrights 

In Europe, including Russia, there was chaos.  The great Empires and Royal Lines of Rulers were gone: Russian, Austrio-Hungarian, German, Tsars, Emperors, Kaisers - ALL GONE.  The Versailles treaty beggared and humiliated Germany.  In Europe, manufacturing and agriculture were in a shambles and governments and industry were trying to figure out what to do and how to do it and did they have any authority anymore.  Unemployment skyrocketed and discontent swelled and defeated countries licked their wounds and hardened their outlooks preparing for a future rematch.  Russia became 4 socialist republics and morphed into the Soviet Union and with a reign of Terror the modern world had never seen before the USSR began it's methodical deliberate soul crushing brutalities on the people of the new Soviet Union - 4 soviets to start eventually expanding into 15 soviets, 16 if you count the Vory y zakone.  The USSR had big construction plans even though they were overwhelmingly agrarian but the communists had stolen/liberated/accessed (pick whichever term speaks to you) unimaginable stores of vast wealth in natural resources - platinum and diamond mines not to mention timber cotton wheat coal oil and on an on.  So, the Russian empire gone and the white army a fastly fading memory, the Red Army took control of all the military and because they had a new country to run, they didn't really demobilize in the way that the United States did - WWI was the war to end all wars and there was no reason to keep or train an army for future wars because there would never again be one.  Simple.  Wrong of course - less than 20 years later we would know that only the dead have seen an end to war - think it was George Santayana who wrote it in his Tipperary soliloquy but everybody else wants to say Plato - either way we learned the lesson - our American military demobilization was the last time the American people would ever be so naive regarding war.  Maniacal madmen are a fact of life and we will stand an Army of Orwellian Rough Men at all times (the allusion I am making is to the quote by essayist Richard Grenier who wrote in 1993:  "As George Orwell pointed out, people sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.")

Why did the Supreme Court deem it important to uphold faithless elector laws? What might the consequences be if electors were al
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Legally, representatives of the Electoral College have the right to vote as they like and for whom they want, ignoring the results of popular vote in their states. State governments, for their part, have the power to impose monetary fines and, in some states, to revoke such votes. The general situation was clarified by the Supreme Court in 1954 in the ruling in Ray v. Blair. It was clarified that the states and parties to which the electors belong have the right to demand from them a preliminary “pledge to vote” and provide for actions in case of violation of such an oath, but they cannot prosecute electors in the framework of criminal procedure of the Code for breaking such an oath.

Now, the Supreme Court places emphasis on the protection of the popular will, which gives voters the task of voting for the required candidates. If this were not the case and the voters chose with absolute freedom which candidate to vote for, the popular will would be severely impaired and the voters would be practically the only voters who would define the destiny of the federal government.
