Answer 1

a

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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
