History

The 12th Amendment provided for separate Electoral College votes for President and Vice President, correcting weaknesses in the earlier electoral system which were responsible for the controversial Presidential Election of 1800.



Or you could say


The Twelfth Amendment stipulates that each elector must cast distinct votes for president and vice president, instead of two votes for president. The Twelfth Amendment requires a person to receive a majority of the electoral votes for vice president for that person to be elected vice president by the Electoral College.


Whichever one you like best :)

To prevent this problem from occurring again, the Twelfth Amendment was added to the Constitution in 1804. It requires that the electors cast separate ballots for president and vice president and that if no candidate receives a majority, the House chooses from the top three candidates.

How did events in europe lead to revolution in the spanish colonies?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

The Spanish colonies wanted to be independent for quite some time, and they just waited for suitable moment when the Spanish army would not be at its best, sot hat they can rebel and gain independence. The situation in Europe was going in the advantage of the Spanish colonies, as Spain was distracted by war, with Napoleon conquering pretty much everything on the continent. As most of the Spanish army was deployed to defend the homeland, the troops in the colonies were significantly weakened. The people in the colonies were monitoring the situation carefully, and when they saw that the Spanish army is weak enough, they attacked, managed to push them away, and gained independence one by one.

The attack on pearl harbor 1941 summarize the account and explain its importance to the war.
Snowcat [4.5K]
The attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 was the determining factor that got the U.S. into WWII.

It was surprise attack by the Japanese on the major U.S. Naval base at Pearl Harbor. They attacked started at 7:48am, and continued for for two hours, until around 9:50am when the all the Japanese forces had returned to their carriers. The torpedo attack only lasted around 11 minutes, until bomber forces moved on the base. After the whole ordeal, 2,403 Americans were killed and 1,178 were injured. Out of he eight ships docked that day, four were sunk, the others severely damaged. All the ships were recovered however, except the USS Arizona. Six of them returned to active service.

The major part of why this attack was so deadly was because it was a surprise attack. U.S. forces were not ready for or expecting an attack, and by the time they had got their planes in the air, and anti-aircraft guns ready, the damage was already done.
