D) the total number of electoral votes a candidate receives
You didn't list choices, but I've seen a question like this before and the answer should be something like this:
- After World War I, the Allies imposed punishments that crippled Germany's economy and made it possible for Hitler to rise to power.
- After World War II, the Allies prevented Germany from buillding up its military (as they had tried to do after World War I also) ... but this time provided financial aid so the country could rebuild its economy.
Further details:
The Treaty of Versailles, which came out of the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, after World War I, was very punitive towards Germany. Germany was forced to admit responsibility for causing the Great War (World War I). We now call that "the war guilt" clause of the treaty. Germany also was forced to pay large reparation payments to the Allies (who opposed Germany in the war). The German economy and national pride were deeply wounded -- and the Great Depression made things worse. The bad situation in Germany made it possible for a radical leader like Hitler, making all sorts of bold promises, to win over enough people to rise to power.
In the aftermath of World War II, the Allies took a different approach. The Marshall Plan (as it was called) was a $15 billion "European Recovery Program" that helped rebuild Germany and Western Europe after the war. The economic aid program was named after its chief architect, US Secretary of State George Marshall.
Answer:
Miranda Rights were established on June 13, 1966, the U.S. Supreme Court hands down its decision in Miranda v. Arizona, establishing the principle that all criminal suspects must be advised of their rights before interrogation. Now considered standard police procedure, “You have the right to remain silent.
Explanation:
The term “Miranda Rights” comes from a historic 1966 U.S. Supreme Court case called Miranda v. Arizona. The court held that if the police want to question (interrogate) a person in police custody, they must tell them of the Fifth Amendment protection against self-incriminating statements and their right to an attorney.
Answer:Step 1. Passage by Congress. Proposed amendment language must be approved by a two-thirds vote of both houses.
Step 2. Notification of the states. The national archivist sends notification and materials to the governor of each state.
Step 3. Ratification by three-fourths of the states. Ratification of the amendment language adopted by Congress is an up-or-down vote in each legislative chamber. A state legislature cannot change the language. If it does, its ratification is invalid. A governor’s signature on the ratification bill or resolution is not necessary.
Step 4. Tracking state actions. Proposed amendments must be ratified by three-fourths of the states in order to take effect. Congress may set a time limit for state action. The official count is kept by Office of the Federal Register at the National Archives. Legislatures must return specific materials to show proof of ratification.
Step 5. Announcement. When the requisite number of states ratify a proposed amendment, the archivist of the United States proclaims it as a new amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Actual certification is published immediately in the Federal Register and eventually in the United States Statutes-at-Large.
State legislatures often call upon Congress to propose constitutional amendments. While these calls may bring some political pressure to bear, Congress is under no constitutional obligation to respond. The U.S. Constitution does not contain a provision requiring Congress to submit a proposed amendment upon request by some requisite number of states.

Explanation:
Resources. Brazil is a very large country with many mineral resources. Among the important mineral resources are iron ore, manganese, gold, diamonds, and bauxite. Manganese is a metal similar to iron. Bauxite is the ore from which aluminum is made.
Brazil also raises many important farm products. More coffee is raised in Brazil than in any other country. This industry supplies many workers with jobs. Brazil also raises sugar cane, cacao, (from which comes cocoa and chocolate), cotton, rice, corn, potatoes, and wheat.
Animals of commercial value raised in Brazil include hogs, cattle, and sheep. Cattle are raised in the south and south-central states. Sheep are raised in the Sertão Region.
Brazil's numerous rivers and streams provide a home for fish and furnish water power to make electricity. They also form an important network of water transportation to carry goods from the interior to the coastal ports.
In recent years, persons and industries moved into South America's interior. They cut down trees and leveled some of the rain forests, especially near the Amazon. In 1992, Brazil held an "Earth Summit" to discuss ways to solve this problem. People from 176 countries were there.
