Okay, the other answer is wrong. The Electoral College's votes are what decide if you can be president or not. So people who actually became president (like Lincoln) did recieve enough votes from the Electoral College. However, during his own election, Al Gore didn't get enough votes from the Electoral College in the Presidential Election in 2000. That's why he lost the election, even though his popular vote was higher.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
E is not true; only A is true
Explanation:
A is true because in the beginning there was no law regarding property rights in the goldfields. B is not because the ¨mining¨ was nothing more than the so- called <em>panning </em>technique used by the gold-seekers. C is very unlikely because where there is gold (or any other valuable thing) there is violence, especially against the indigenous societies who were pushed off their lands. D is also very unlikely because the gold-seekers were anything but organized workers; they were seeking fortune for themselves and nobody else.

Answer:
<h2>Popular sovereignty was an unworkable solution for the territories of Kansas and Nebraska.</h2>
Explanation:
The Kansas-Nebraska Act enacted by Congress in 1854. It granted popular sovereignty to the people in the Kansas and Nebraska territories, letting them decide whether they'd allow slavery. In essence, this made the Kansas-Nebraska act a repeal of the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which had said there would be no slavery north of latitude 36°30´ except for Missouri.
After the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers rushed into Kansas to try to sway the outcome of the issue, and violence between the two sides occurred. The term "bleeding Kansas" was used because of the bloodshed that occurred in this situation. The move to make slavery a popular sovereignty matter proved to be unworkable and hurtful.
