History

miss Akunina [59]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

John Adams lost the election for maybe four main reasons. The heart of the matter was the expansion of Federal power at the expense of state and individual rights. Adams expanded the Federal Government by building up the standing army and building more ships for the Navy. He raised taxes and ran deficits. Adams instituted the Alien and Sedition Acts which criminalized criticism of the government and was rough on immigrants. Lastly, Adams toom Great Britain's side against the French. These policies weren't popular but Jefferson must have been greatful for the Navy ships he got to use in the war against the Barbary Pirates. Jefferson waged an effective campaign in the newspapers and he had the winning issues. The election still ended up in the House of Representatives between Jefferson and his running mate Aaron Burr. It was Alexander Hamilton who backed Jefferson over Burr. I am sure a contributing factor in their duel. Burr ran as a Vice-presidential running mate with Jefferson. He should not have tried to double cross Jefferson. Burr definitely had many character flaws.

Explain the three heads of the political party in the expression a three-headed political giant
UNO [17]
The first head is the party in the electorate. This is who the supporters of your party are. They don't have to be actual members of the party, it's enough that they publicly speak that they support you and will vote for you and this is a huge amount of voters because these are the common people who don't deal with politics.

The second head is the party as an organization. This is the classic company like organization with staff, headquarters, laws and legislation, taxes, and similar things. The goal of the organization is to win the elections and they help on a state, national, and local level with things like campaigning and other important aspects of politics.

The third head is the party in government. These are party members who are members of the congress and although they may disagree with some party policies, they are in general the spokespeople for their party and represent it and its values. They are the people who vote on legislation and the budget and similar things.
