Answer: Florida's votes became a major problem in 2000 presidential election.
Explanation: During the 2000 presidential election in the United States, Florida became a major problem as the votes in this state had to be recounted due to an unconvincing narrow margin of votes. The recount of votes in Florida took more than three weeks; therefore, the official results of the 2000 presidential election were not known until a month after the balloting. After the recount, it was informed that George W. Bush had won by a margin of 537 votes in the state of Florida, a number of votes that fianlly allowed him to become the next president of the United States.
Answer:
At the start of the twentieth century there were approximately 250,000 Native Americans in the USA – just 0.3 per cent of the population – most living on reservations where they exercised a limited degree of self-government. During the course of the nineteenth century they had been deprived of much of their land by forced removal westwards, by a succession of treaties (which were often not honoured by the white authorities) and by military defeat by the USA as it expanded its control over the American West.
In 1831 the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Marshall, had attempted to define their status. He declared that Indian tribes were ‘domestic dependent nations’ whose ‘relation to the United States resembles that of a ward to his guardian’. Marshall was, in effect, recognising that America’s Indians are unique in that, unlike any other minority, they are both separate nations and part of the United States. This helps to explain why relations between the federal government and the Native Americans have been so troubled. A guardian prepares his ward for adult independence, and so Marshall’s judgement implies that US policy should aim to assimilate Native Americans into mainstream US culture. But a guardian also protects and nurtures a ward until adulthood is achieved, and therefore Marshall also suggests that the federal government has a special obligation to care for its Native American population. As a result, federal policy towards Native Americans has lurched back and forth, sometimes aiming for assimilation and, at other times, recognising its responsibility for assisting Indian development.

B) Erosion is the correct answer
In 1766, the British Parliament passed the Declaratory Act to Repeal the Stamp Act and Sugar Act and Reinforced British control over the thirteen American colonies.
The British government had been deeply in debt following the French as well as Indian War. The British government turned for the American colonists to repay this debt. The British government enacted legislation such as the Stamp Act and the Sugar Act. These laws were designed to generate revenue over the British government. Because there were no colonists represented within the British parliament, these laws were not well received from the colonists. This meant that the colonists were taxed without a say in the matter.
This sparked a major rebellion against the British the monarch in the American colonies. The colonists started pestering tax collectors, even tarring and feathering some of them.
