Excerpt taken from The Historic Rise of Old Hickory by Suzanne B. Williams
Four major candidates ran in the 1824 election, all under the "Democratic-Republican" name. One of the candidates, Andrew Jackson, was already famous. In the 1780s, he earned the right to practice law and served in various offices of the state government, including senator. He earned the nickname "Old Hickory" for his toughness as a general during the War of 1812 and First Seminole War. Jackson supported slavery and "Indian removal." This earned him support from voters in southern and frontier states. The other three candidates were John Quincy Adams of Massachusetts, Henry Clay of Kentucky, and William Crawford of Georgia.
U.S. presidents are elected through the Electoral College. The Founding Fathers worried that Americans were too spread out to learn enough about the candidates. Under the Electoral College, Americans cast their ballot for the popular vote, which chooses the electors for each state. The number of electoral votes each state equals the number of representatives and senators combined. The candidates must win an absolute majority of electoral votes to win the election.
In 1824, Andrew Jackson won the popular vote, but he did not win it in each state. Jackson and Adams both won many electoral votes. Jackson won the most with 99. However, a candidate needs an absolute majority of electoral votes to win. In 1824, Jackson needed 131 to win. When there is not majority winner, the election goes to the House of Representatives. This has only happened twice in U.S. history.
Even though he won the popular vote and many electoral votes, Andrew Jackson lost the presidency in 1824. John Quincy Adams was the Secretary of State at this time. Henry Clay was the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Henry Clay, receiving the least, was left out. However, as a leader in the House of Representatives, he had influence over the other members. Clay openly hated Jackson and there were rumors that Clay made a deal with Adams in exchange for his support. The House election declared John Quincy Adams president. Soon, he chose Henry Clay to fill the seat he left vacant, Secretary of State. Jackson was shocked and enraged. Although there was no inquiry of possible wrongdoing, Jackson accused Adams and Clay of making a "corrupt bargain."
John Quincy Adams was a disappointment as president. Many of his goals created divisions like federal funds for internal improvement. Some states thought that taking federal funds would force them to follow certain rules. They felt this reduced their rights as independent states. Jackson took advantage of issues like this one to gather more support. More Jackson supporters found their way to seats in Congress. He was as a man of the people and said Adams could never understand the common man's concerns.
John Quincy Adams ran against Andrew Jackson in the 1828 election. Personal attacks grew even more vicious, but Andrew Jackson appealed to many. He believed government was for the common man. He believed in strict reading of the law and limited internal improvements. He also believed in states' rights.
Andrew Jackson easily won the 1828 election, winning both the popular vote and a majority of electoral votes. Historians note the sectional nature of the voting. Support for Jackson was concentrated in South while Adams' support was mostly in the North. Jackson was so popular because he brought changes to the government. He also wanted to make sure the government was responsible for its actions. Jackson pushed settlement into the frontier. He supported the Indian Removal act. He also defended the spread of slavery. Though his support was heavier in the South, he was determined to keep a unified nation. The rise and presidency of Old Hickory is memorable to Americans today.
Which of the following did Andrew Jackson not support? (5 points)
a
A limited national government
b
Spreading of slavery to the frontier
c
Federal funds for internal improvements
d
A strict interpretation of the U.S. Constitution

Read the passage.
Art education must receive funding in Pleasantville Public Schools. We must have funding because it is so necessary. Who could be against funding for art? Unfortunately, our mayor does not support art funding and will not vote for it. She is uncultured and does not care about art. She probably does not allow art even in her own house.
Which phrases from the passage represent the logical fallacy known as begging the question?
“art education must receive funding” and ”we must have funding”
“it is so necessary” and “will not vote for it”
“She is uncultured and does not care about art.”
“She probably does not allow art even in her own house.”
The logical fallacy "begging the question" is shown by the phrases - “She is uncultured and does not care about art” . Hence, the third option is the correct answer.
What is fallacy?A fallacy is the use of flawed or otherwise flawed thinking in the development of an argument, which, if ignored, may appear to be well-reasoned.
The term "begging the question" refers to drawing a judgement without offering supporting evidence. It happens when the premises of an argument presuppose the validity of the conclusion rather than providing evidence for it.
In the phrase: “She is uncultured and does not care about art”, there was no factual information provided that would prove that the mayor does not care about art.
Therefore, the third phrase in the given options is the appropriate phrase which represent the logical fallacy known as begging the question.

. . . when in the wrought chest the wind blowing over and the sea heaving struck her [Danae] with fear, her cheeks not dry, she put her arm over Perseus and spoke: My child such trouble I have. And you sleep, your heart is placid; you dream in the joyless wood; in the night nailed in bronze, in the blue dark you lie still and shine. The salt water that towers above your head as the wave goes by you heed not, nor the wind’s voice; you press your bright face to the red blanket. If this danger were danger to you, your small ear would attend my words. But I tell you, Sleep, my baby, and let the sea sleep, let our trouble sleep . . .” —Simonides, Greek poet, as quoted in A Soaring Spirit: Time Frame 600–400 B.C.

1. How can differences of political opinion turn friends into enemies?
2. Why is it important to understand people who think differently from you? In other words, why is it important to be "tolerant" of other people's political opinions?
1. Through Biology and certain instincts we have built into us
2. Being Tolerant is important because, without it, we would be crumbling into chaos (as we already are, because people seem to not be tolerant)
Explanations:1. We, as humans, think of ourselves as higher than others. We get fixated on our views and it gets harder to accept other ideas and views others have. Humans have a tendency to argue their point, even when they subconsciously know that they will get nowhere. I have, and I am sure you as well, have seen this happen many times and are kind of sick of it. I have, and so have many others, participated in these arguments of futility, and have probably at some point noticed (and accepted) that they couldn't convince the other.
For instance, if I support President John Doe, because of reason 1, I can tell my friend. However, If my friend supports President Jane Doe, because of reason 2, and reason 1 is invalid because of reason 3, then I have a problem on my hands. As I said before, we think of ourselves higher; According to experience, (and the human brain and studies), this will incite an argument, each person arguing their point in futility. Sometimes an argument is too big to get over, and people split.
2. Abraham Lincon said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand".
These immortal words have been proven not so immortal. As stated in explanation 1, people get into futile arguments quite often. Notice how I said futile. Note that.
Looking at the example in "1", we see that friends get torn apart and people get rifts shoved between them because of these arguments. That is the stick. Getting fixated on your views is so dangerous because you close your mind and become unlikable, which is one of the most underrated things by far.
By opening your mind to other people's points, you see that there is a whole mountain of points against and for everything. This is the Carrot. I too was once a close-minded person. I disregarded everything everyone said and replaced it with my own, if I may, President John Doe. Now that I opened my eyes, I can "see clearly now, the rain has gone" and I know that there is a whole world we never see because of our own prison of futility and lies.
Conclusion: Reading this, hopefully, you will see that it is much better to accept anothers' point and understand it than to ignore it.
That is the carrot, that is the stick, and we are the donkey.
