Answer 2

In the process, students should discuss the Electoral College system and debate if it ever has been a fair way to choose a president. Stronger students will raise questions concerning local control over election procedures, included in the final form of the Fifteenth Amendment. This factor led to controversy in both the 1876 and 2000 presidential elections. Within this context, discussion could include the controversy of African American disfranchisement in both elections, particularly in states like Florida, which ironically was the center of election disputes in both 1876 and 2000 . Finally, students can discuss the methods by which both election contests were decided and, in the process, compare and contrast the political and constitutional intrigue that involved both scenarios of election closure.
