Throughout Washington's presidency, Vice President Adams regarded himself as the heir apparent. Indeed, that alone explains his willingness to endure eight years in the vice presidency, an office devoid of power. When Washington, in his Farewell Address, published in September 1796, announced his intention to retire, the nation faced its first contested presidential election. The Federalist members of Congress caucused and nominated Adams and Thomas Pinckney, a South Carolinian who had soldiered and served President Washington as a diplomat, as their choices for President. The Democratic-Republicans in Congress likewise met and named Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr of New York, who had served in the Continental army and as a United States senator early in Washington's presidency, as their choices. Each party named two presidential candidates, for under the original Constitution, each member of the electoral college was to cast two ballots for President. The winner of the presidential election was the individual who received the largest number of votes, if it constituted a majority of the votes cast. The person receiving the second largest number of votes, whether or not it was a majority, was to be the vice president. In the event that no candidate received a majority of votes, or that two candidates tied with a majority of votes, the House of Representatives was to decide the election, with each state, regardless of size, having a single vote.
When the contest began in full force in the late summer of 1796, only Aaron Burr, out of the four candidates, waged an active campaign. Supporters of the four candidates, however, campaigned vigorously. The Federalist press labeled Jefferson a Francophile, questioned his courage during the War of Independence, and charged that he was an atheist. Adams was portrayed as a monarchist and an Anglophile who was secretly bent on establishing a family dynasty by having his son succeed him as President

Answer and Explanation:
You should ask these questions before making a judgment about the findings that raising livestock is harmful to the environment and that the sale of meat should be banned:
<em>1. How many studies have shown the same results?</em>
This is an important question to ask since results from one researcher or (group of researcher) need to be tested for reliability and validity before it is accepted as scientific truth or fact. This is why you should check if other studies also show the same result about the harmful effects of raising livestock on the environment.
<em>2. Does the group conducting the study have anything to gain by interpreting their findings in this way?</em>
Unfortunately, at times, certain researchers or groups of researchers fabricate or exaggerate their research findings for their own gains or to further their agendas. In this instance, since the group conducting the research is the <em>Ethical Treatment for Animals</em> it is possible that the group interpreted and published the research findings to fit their own paradigm- that eating meat is unethical and should be stopped- when in fact such a claim needs further testing.
<em>3. Does the environmental damage matter as much as people's freedom to eat what they choose?</em>
This is a valid question to consider as it involves the matter of free will. Banning the sale of meat would take away the free will of individuals who would like to continue consuming meat despite evidence suggesting that it is harmful for the environment. Thus, it is important the consider whether environmental damage matters as much as people's freedom to eat what they choose when making a judgement about these research findings.
