The following events occurred during the Election of 2000. Drag them into the order in which they occurred, with the earliest on
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

1- Early returns called the election in favor of George W. Bush by a small margin, less than a half percent.

2- Al Gore called for a hand recount of votes, but not all votes were recounted because of the deadline.

3- The Florida Supreme Court allowed the recount to continue, but the U.S. Supreme Court ordered it to be stopped.

4- George W. Bush was officially declared the winner in Florida by the Florida Secretary of State.

Explanation:

Bush managed to win by a wide margin in most southern states, with the exception of Florida and Gore's home state of Tennessee. He also won in Ohio, Indiana, most Midwestern states, and Alaska. With the exception of New Hampshire, Gore won in the northern states and all west coast states, including California and Hawaii. On the evening of the election it was especially exciting who would win in the states of Wisconsin and Iowa, but in the end Florida would play a decisive role.  

At the end of the election day, Gore had 255 of the 270 electors needed and Bush 246. The states of New Mexico (5 electors), Oregon (7 electors) and Florida (25 electors) were still undecided. In the days that followed, it was announced that Gore had won in Oregon and New Mexico.

In Florida, Bush initially had a 300 vote lead after counting the votes, and a 900 vote lead after receiving votes from overseas military personnel. A certain type of ballot paper, the butterfly ballot, caused confusion: many voters would have cast an invalid vote or voted for the wrong candidate. Gore's campaign team then filed a four-count recount. After media reports, some districts decided to manually recount the votes. The Republicans argued that the counts should apply to all counties or be canceled. They pointed out that the four counties designated by Gore were historically all democratically minded. Florida chief official Katherine Harris stated that the results of the recast votes, as enshrined in Floridian law, should be in by November 14. Ultimately, the Florida Supreme Court determined the final date for the result to be known: November 26. All recounts had to be taken into account in the final result. Some districts that were unable to meet this deadline ended the recounts. On November 26, Bush was declared the winner of the state of Florida.  

This decision was challenged by Democrats, and some officials in Washington refused to assist in the transfer of power. On December 12, the Federal Supreme Court declared the recount method invalid because it was not practiced throughout the state. In addition, the Court did not allow recertification in any other way. That same evening, Gore congratulated Bush as the new president in a speech.

List and describe three outcomes that the American Revolution had over political relationships in the new Republic.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Like the earlier distinction between “origins” and “causes,” the Revolution also had short- and long-term consequences. Perhaps the most important immediate consequence of declaring independence was the creation of state constitutions in 1776 and 1777. The Revolution also unleashed powerful political, social, and economic forces that would transform the post-Revolution politics and society, including increased participation in politics and governance, the legal institutionalization of religious toleration, and the growth and diffusion of the population. The Revolution also had significant short-term effects on the lives of women in the new United States of America. In the long-term, the Revolution would also have significant effects on the lives of slaves and free blacks as well as the institution of slavery itself. It also affected Native Americans by opening up western settlement and creating governments hostile to their territorial claims. Even more broadly, the Revolution ended the mercantilist economy, opening new opportunities in trade and manufacturing.

The new states drafted written constitutions, which, at the time, was an important innovation from the traditionally unwritten British Constitution. Most created weak governors and strong legislatures with regular elections and moderately increased the size of the electorate. A number of states followed the example of Virginia, which included a declaration or “bill” of rights in their constitution designed to protect the rights of individuals and circumscribe the prerogative of the government. Pennsylvania’s first state constitution was the most radical and democratic. They created a unicameral legislature and an Executive Council but no genuine executive. All free men could vote, including those who did not own property. Massachusetts’ constitution, passed in 1780, was less democratic but underwent a more popular process of ratification. In the fall of 1779, each town sent delegates––312 in all––to a constitutional convention in Cambridge. Town meetings debated the constitution draft and offered suggestions. Anticipating the later federal constitution, Massachusetts established a three-branch government based on checks and balances between the branches. Unlike some other states, it also offered the executive veto power over legislation. 1776 was the year of independence, but it was also the beginning of an unprecedented period of constitution-making and state building.
