Answer:
After the Second World War, after the impact that the totalitarian Nazi, Fascist and Communist regimes had caused on the American population, both Democrats and Republicans came to the conclusion that they should bet on the total fulfillment of civil and political rights in America (especially regarding racial minorities, such as African Americans).
Thus, Democrats and Republicans reached an agreement regarding this issue, by which it was agreed that both political parties would support policies, measures and movements that would tend to maximize respect for individual freedoms and equality among American citizens. This agreement was called "the Liberal consensus".
Answer:
Smith
Explanation:
Although Jones won more votes from the people when added all together, Smith won more electoral votes. In state A Smith was voted the most so he won 10 electoral votes and in State B Jones was voted more and won 9 electoral votes. Since 10 votes is larger than 9 Smith won. Basically Smith won the most votes in a state that had more people so more electoral votes in total, and because of that he got more electoral votes which resulted in his victory.
