History

Answer:If early voting trends are any indication, a record number of Americans could vote in the 2020 presidential election. As of this writing, more than 100 million early votes have been cast by mail or in person – more than two-thirds of the total number of votes cast in 2016.

We won’t have anything like a definitive assessment of 2020 turnout rates for some time after Nov. 3. But in the 2016 presidential election, nearly 56% of the U.S. voting-age population cast a ballot. That represented a slight uptick from 2012 but was lower than in the record year of 2008, when turnout topped 58% of the voting-age population.

So how does voter turnout in the United States compare with turnout in other countries? That depends very much on which country you’re looking at and which measuring stick you use.

Political scientists often define turnout as votes cast divided by the number of eligible voters. But because eligible-voter estimates are not readily available for many countries, we’re basing our cross-national turnout comparisons on estimates of voting-age population (or VAP), which are more readily available, as well as on registered voters. (Read “How we did this” for details.)

How we did this

Overall, 245.5 million Americans were ages 18 and older in November 2016, about 157.6 million of whom reported being registered to vote, according to Census Bureau estimates. Just over 137.5 million people told the census they voted that year, somewhat higher than the actual number of votes tallied – nearly 136.8 million, according to figures compiled by the Office of the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives (which include more than 170,000 blank, spoiled or otherwise null ballots). That sort of overstatement has long been noted by researchers; the comparisons and charts in this analysis use the House Clerk’s figure, along with data from the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance and individual nations’ statistical and elections authorities.

What sentence best summarizes Bushes persuasive strategy in this part of the speech
Flauer [41]

Answer:

A) Bush stirs up emotions of brotherhood and freedom to inspire Americans.

Explanation:

Bush had given several speeches during the 9/11 period, and the statements mainly focused on attacks by terrorist attacks that occurred at different times. Therefore, in his speech, he was trying to put the Americans together by explaining the importance of people coming together from all races during this challenging time.

In the last part of his speech, he discussed how the Americans would defend freedom if they moved forward together; the statement created hope and justifies the actions of the Americans.

Why was there tension between French and colonist
Marysya12 [62]
At the end of the French and Indian War the British government signed treaties with the Indians in the Ohio territory to restrict the American colonists from moving into there land. The American colonists ignored this British treaty, and started settling in the Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee areas. The British government, unlike the American government in the following century (which very seldom honored the treaties they signed with the Western tribes), tried to honor their treaties with he Indians and keep the Americans out. This brought the Americans and British into confrontation and was one of the main factors that led to the Revolution.
