Well, it could mean a lot of things. but i’m guessing that in this sense it probably means the same as tossing something. eg: “don’t throw that ball at you’re brother- toss it”
“don’t throw that ball at you’re brother - lob it”
1. Russsia

Let's look at the answers:
the Alien and Sedition Acts were constitutional.
-the elections have nothing to do with constitutionality of laws, so we reject this answer
the electoral college worked smoothly.
-this is also false! in fact, the problems with the electoral college in this election were a reason for the 12th Amendment later
the US government was stable.- we choose this answer, because we have good reasons to reject every other answer!
presidential campaigns did not need personal attacks.
-this is false! This election was distinguished by many personal attacks
One situation would be the double-jeopardy. It is a situation when the country wants to put you on trial multiple times. According to the fifth amendment, a federal court can't put you on trial multiple times for the same offense. This is done to prevent having the federal court put you on trial until the jury decides that you're guilty. If a case is acquitted then there can be no retrial.
Another situation is self-incrimination. If you know what you've done or haven't done and you don't want to talk about it then you don't have to talk about it. The amendment protects you from having to divulge information that might incriminate you even further. It is your right to remain silent.
Another situation is having a grand jury. Only a grand jury may indict a person. In a real life situation, a court might decide to decide that you're guilty and punish you without a jury in case you were a political opponent or something similar. This is unconstitutional and illegal and the fifth amendment protects you from it.

The Cuban Missile Crisis. The fear on both sides was that someone would push a button and all out war (perhaps the end of the planet as we understand it) would result. Both countries had ICBMs but America's were better. They could hit Russia. Russia had no real answer and Cuba is too small a defensive position. So Khrushchev blinked and took his threat home. It didn't take her long to catch up but by that time the political situation altered.
