Which is true of the election of James Monroe to his second term A He barely won B He was unopposed C He won by a landslide D He did not run for a second term class=

Respuesta :

I’m not sure but I’m guessing D

Answer:

B) He was unopposed.

Explanation:

President James Monroe and his Vice President Daniel Tompkins was able to win 231 electoral votes, losing only one vote from New Hampshire to John Quincy Adams. The Federalists were not able to organize behind John Quincy Adams, thereby allowing the results to be unopposed. If Federalists, on the other hand, was able to organize and still lose by a large margin, then it would have been a landslide.

For the other answers:

A) President James Monroe won ~99.57% of all the electoral votes, and so A is incorrect, as he commanded pretty much all the electoral votes for the election season.

C) President James Monroe did in fact win by a landslide, however the opposition parties were not able to organize effectively behind their candidate, which is needed for it to be a landslide. A landslide victory for example can be seen at the Reagen v. Carter in 1980, where Reagan won 90.89% of the votes.

D) President James Monroe served two terms, the first being from 1817 - 1821, and the second from 1821 - 1825.
