Answer 1

Answer:

1. B.)Gore would have been elected president

2. C.)let morality guide their future foreign policy decisions

Explanation:

1. Given that in the United States 2000 Presidential Election, George Bush had 271 electoral votes as against that of Al Gore 266 votes. Hence, if Alabama's 9 electoral votes that was won by Bush had been won by other candidates other than Bush. Then George Bush's Electoral votes would have reduced to 262, thus, Al Gore would have been elected president

2. From the George Washington's Farewell address in 1796. Where he asked among other things that "...Who can doubt, that, in the course of time and things, the fruits of such a plan would richly repay any temporary advantages, which might be lost by a steady adherence to it?"

It was believed that he was urging future American leaders to let morality guide their future foreign policy decisions, instead of temporarily shoving them to the background for quick political achievement.
