<p>Which was the first (and I think only) 3rd party to ever win an election?</p>
<p>Which was the first (and I think only) 3rd party to ever win an election?</p>
<p>Progressive?</p>
<p>ok I'm not so sure about this anymore because I know I read it in Kaplan's book but I can't find it. I think they said it was the Republican party when it first started because the two main parties were Democratic and Whig...
just forget that question it was faulty! sorry =)</p>
<p>How about Lincoln's party? I forget the name..</p>
<p>[*b]What was the XYZ Affair?[\b]</p>
<p>[b]What was the XYZ Affair?*</p>
<p>Better question: how do i make it bold?</p>
<p>During a war with Britain and France..(the one after the American Revolution but before the war of 1812..I think) the British and the French were trying to get us to support them and were impressing our sailors and stuff so a couple US people went to France to ask them to stop or something and then these French dudes under Talleyrand tried to bribe the US...making us mad</p>
<p>How many times was FDR elected? How many terms did he serve?</p>
<p>Consequently..what was the 22nd Amendment?</p>
<p>**TEXT HERE[/ b] <---No space here.</p>
<p>4 times elected, served 3 terms and 1 year.
So I'm thinking the 22nd amendment put a 2 term or 10 years limit on presidents, right?</p>
<p>yes it did =)</p>
<p>Ok...hmm....What was the first constitution written? (having to do with the US..or I guess the colonies)
(this could be debated...there are two <em>possible</em> answers but really one is much more right than the other)</p>
<p>XYZ affair--
In 1797, President Adams labored to defuse growing tensions with France by sending two new diplomats, John Marshall and Elbridge Gerry, to join C.C. Pinckney in Paris. The French foreign minister, Charles Maurice de Talleyrand, kept the American mission waiting for weeks, then deployed agents (designated X, Y and Z by the Americans) to demand a $250,000 bribe for himself and a $12 million loan for France. Bribery was standard diplomatic fare at the time, but the amount was deemed exorbitant.</p>
<p>The 22nd Amendment limited a president to two terms in office.</p>
<p>What event "signified" the end of the Whig Party and was the beginning of the Republican party?</p>
<p>Was it the Mayflower Compact written by the Puritans in New England?
What was the first constitution written?</p>
<p>m17--
I'm not sure of an "event" but I know the Republican office came into being because they did not advocate the spread of slavery into new territories.</p>
<p>I believe it was the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut.</p>
<p>Technically the Mayflower Compact was just a contract and not a constitution. According to many it was the 1639 Fundamental Orders of Connecticut.
That could be disputed, I guess. </p>
<p>What event "signified" the end of the Whig Party and was the beginning of the Republican party?</p>
<p>I think it was the Kansas-Nebraska act that kinda split and ended the Whigs.</p>
<p>First post xeo..nice. :)</p>
<p>What about the Mayflower COmpact which established a civil gov and proclaimed alleigance to the King of England? 1620</p>
