In March 1947 the Georgia Supreme Court ruled that Melvin Thompson was the rightful governor because he was lieutenant governor–

elect when Eugene Talmadge died. In a five-to-two decision the justices ruled that Thompson would be the acting governor until a special election could be held to decide the remainder of the original term, which would have run from 1947 to 1951.
Within two hours of the court decision, Herman Talmadge left the governor's office. His apparent capitulation surprised many who thought that he might challenge the ruling. Almost immediately he began campaigning for the special election in September 1948.

In hindsight, the controversy seems almost comical, a relic of an era of Georgia politics that is long dead. At the time, however, it was a source of great embarrassment for business leaders of the state. Georgia's national reputation, already unsavory, took an even further blow.

–New Georgia Encyclopedia, 2014

Explanation:

Georgia's "three governors controversy" of 1946-47, which began with the death of governor-elect Eugene Talmadge, was one of the more bizarre political spectacles in the annals of American politics. In the wake of Talmadge's death, his supporters proposed a plan that allowed the Georgia legislature to elect a governor in January 1947. When the General Assembly elected Talmadge's son Herman Talmadge as governor, the newly elected lieutenant governor, Melvin E. Thompson, claimed the office of governor, and the outgoing governor, Ellis Arnall, refused to leave office. Eventually, the Georgia Supreme Court settled the controversy.

2) Although the language of Mexico is Spanish, many names are in indigenous languages, such as Xochimilco

In many places the indigenous languages are still spoken, although the original religions and cultures are mostly replaced by the Spanish one. (so for example, they would have western-style school, at which the indigenous languages are taught).

How did Shi Huangdi enforce his control over a widespread territory in China?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

He used philosophy of Legalism which gave absolute power to the king and encouraged strict laws and harsh punishments.

Explanation:

Philosophy of Legalism is based on the assumption that Human beings are inherently selfish and will always do things to serve their own interest.

In order to prevent the selfish human from causing chaos, a strong legal system  is needed in order to create laws that will strongly punish those who conduct misbehaviors. That central system need to be controlled by a body of government that possess higher authority than any other institution.
