How can polling be misused?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Polling can be misused when pollster willingly bias their polls in order to obtain a particular result that was previously desired.

Explanation:

For example, suppose a pollster wants X candidate to come on top of the poll, and knows that population Y is more likely to vote for than candidate. If the pollster then polls a higher proportion of population Y than it should according to the data of the statistical universe as a whole, then the pollster would be biasing the poll in favor of candidate X. This would be a misuse of polling.

Answers

Answer:

Lincoln's Reconstruction Plan

a)  On December 8, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln offers his conciliatory plan for reunification of the United States with his Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction.

b)  Blockade of the southern coastline.

Take control of the Mississippi River.

Take Richmond Virginia.

c)  Lincoln's blueprint for Reconstruction included the Ten-Percent Plan, which specified that a southern state could be readmitted into the Union once 10 percent of its voters (from the voter rolls for the election of 1860) swore an oath of allegiance to the Union. Lincoln wanted to end the war quickly.

Johnson's Plan for Reconstruction

a)  A political cartoon is a cartoon that makes a point about a political issue or event.

b)  Pardons would be granted to those taking a loyalty oath.

No pardons would be available to high Confederate officials and persons owning property valued in excess of $20,000.

A state needed to abolish slavery before being readmitted.

c)  Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson's Reconstruction plans were similar in that they both had similar requirements for former Confederate states to be reunited into the Union. This required ten percent of voters to take a loyalty oath and for the states to ratify the 13th Amendment.

Freedmen's Bureau

a)  On March 3, 1865, Congress passed “An Act to establish a Bureau for the Relief of Freedmen and Refugees” to provide food, shelter, clothing, medical services, and land to displaced Southerners, including newly freed African Americans.

b)  The Freedmen's Bureau provided food, housing, and medical aid, established schools, and offered legal assistance. It also attempted to settle former slaves on land confiscated or abandoned during the war.

Sharecropping

a) Much of the Southern United States was destroyed during the Civil war. Farms and plantations were burned down and their crops destroyed. The rebuilding of the South after the Civil War is called the Reconstruction. The Reconstruction lasted from 1865 to 1877.

b)  By the early 1870s, the system known as sharecropping had come to dominate agriculture across the cotton-planting South. Under this system, black families would rent small plots of land, or shares, to work themselves; in return, they would give a portion of their crop to the landowner at the end of the year.

c)  The absence of cash or an independent credit system led to the creation of sharecropping. High-interest rates, unpredictable harvests, and unscrupulous landlords and merchants often kept tenant farm families severely indebted, requiring the debt to be carried over until the next year or the next.

Jim Crow Era

a)  Poll taxes, literacy tests, fraud, and intimidation all turned African Americans away from the polls.

b)  Fifteenth Amendment, amendment (1870) to the Constitution of the United States that guaranteed that the right to vote could not be denied based on “race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” The amendment complemented and followed in the wake of the passage of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth amendments, which ...

c)  The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed in response to Jim Crow laws and other restrictions of minorities' voting rights at the time, primarily in the Deep South. The Act has undergone several changes and additions since its passage. In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court found a key provision of the Act unconstitutional.

Answer:

Lincoln's Reconstruction Plan

a. What date did Lincoln issue his proclamation of amnesty?

December 8, 1863

b. What were the three parts of his plan?

1. Disagreements with the Union and traitors to the union would be justified.

2. Their rights as citizens would be restored if they claimed allegiance to the Union.

3. All of the south's property would be given back except for slaves.

c. How would you describe Lincoln’s plans for dealing with the South? Would you consider it a lenient policy or strict? Explain your answer.

I'd say it's a lenient policy. The south, also the confederates, wanted to keep the institution of owing slaves, while the union opposed slavery. Enslaving innocent human beings is wrong, and they wanted to do that. So the punishment that they got was merciful, and they didn't suffer the same fate as their slaves.

Johnson's Plan for Reconstruction

(Please share the political cartoon in order for the questions to be answered)

Freedmen's Bureau

a. Describe the purpose of the Freedmen’s Bureau

The Freedmen's Bureau was made to help southerner's who were displaced, and it also helped African Americans who were newly freed, providing them with food, shelter, clothing, medical help, and land.

What benefits did it offer?

Food, shelter, clothing, medical help, and land.

Sharecropping

a. What happened to land in the South following the Civil War?

During the civil war, a big portion of land in the South was destroyed, and that's what led to the Reconstruction Act of 1867.

Jim Crow Era

a. What were three ways Southerners tried to disrupt African Americans from voting.

Grandfather clause, Poll Tax, and Literacy Tax.

b. Explain how the poll tax and literacy tests were not a violation of the 15th amendment.

The Poll Tax and Literacy Tests were admited to all voters, people who weren't white were not as educated as white people, which caused them to not have the education to get jobs and provide money and that's why it made the Poll Tax a disadvantage.

c. What law was finally passed in 1965 which abolished Jim Crow era voting laws? What did it say?

The Voting Rights Act. It said that the rights of people would not be held against them just because of the color of their skin.

which reason best explains the development of U.S. political parties during 1790s?

Answers

Answer:

I’ll be glad to answer this the best I can :D

Explanation:

During the early 1790’s, the newly founded republic of the United States of America, was just starting out, and it was our Founding Father’s philosophical ideas of democracy, freedom, and limited government that helped mold our country.

However, each of the Founding Father’s though had their own vision of how the U.S.A should be lead. It was because of this difference that many of the Founding Father’s turned on each other and formed their own ‘parties’; each party with its own policy and ideology. The two biggest politcal parties during this specific year were the Federalist Party (founded by Alexander Hamilton) and the Democratic-Republican Party (founded by Thomas Jefferson. Also known as Anti-federalists).

The difference between the two is this. The Federalists believed in a strong central government, and that the states had to come together under this centralized government in order to survive.

The Democratic-Republican party believed in a small and limited government, in which the states had more freedoms and rights than the federal government. These Democrat-Republicans believed that having a strong central government would lead to tyranny and too much authoritarian power from the federal government and believed laws, regulations, and freedoms should best be left alone at the state level.

It was not long after when in 1828 that the Federalist Party and its members formed what we know as the modern Democratic Party (founded by Andrew Jackson primarily).

Meanwhile on the other hand the Democratic-Republican party eventually grew weaker in influence as time when on. It was then these members whom belived in limited government, self-freedom, and libertarianism eventually much later on in 1854 formed what we know as the modern Republican Party (founded primarily by Horace Greeley).
