The public was attracted to both Theodore Roosevelt (in 1912) and Ross Perot (in 1992) because they were fiery, spirited men who challenged the status quo of politics. In both elections, running as 3rd party candidates, these men divided the votes of the Republican party, and thus both elections were won by Democratic party candidates.

In the 1912 election, the Republican Party was divided. Its conservative wing supported President William Howard Taft for reelection. Theodore ("Teddy") Roosevelt, who had been President from 1901-1909, led the progressive wing of the Republicans. Ultimately, Roosevelt and his supporters objected to the nomination of Taft as the Republican candidate, and formed a 3rd party, the Progressive Party, with Roosevelt as their presidential candidate. Roosevelt won 27% of the popular vote; Taft received 23% of the popular vote. Democratic candidate Woodrow Wilson got 42% of the popular vote and carried 40 states to win the Electoral College vote handily.

In the 1992 election, Texas businessman Ross Perot painted himself as the non-political candidate and financed most of his own campaign with his own funds. He pledged to balance the government budget and enact policies that protected American businesses. Famously, he opposed the North American Free Trade Agreement, saying it would result in "a giant sucking sound" of American jobs heading south to Mexico. Though not officially a breakaway from the Republican Party, most of the votes Perot drew to himself came from the Republican side. In the 1992 election, incumbent Republican President George W. Bush got 37% of the popular vote, and Perot got 19%. The Democratic candidate, Bill Clinton, received 43% of the popular vote and carried 32 states to win the Electoral College victory with 370 electoral votes.

Third parties can spoil the election for the incumbent, just as Roosevelt’s and Perot’s parties spoiled the elections of 1912 and 1992, respectively.

Third parties are strengthened when people are dissatisfied with the incumbent.

People were dissatisfied with Taft for acting conservatively and with Bush for breaking his campaign promise.

Third parties are more successful when the country is ready for change.

In a well-constructed response, explain how Carrie Chapman Catt, the author of “Address to Congress on Women’s Suffrage,” demons
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Find the explanation and details from the text below.

Explanation:

'Kairos' is a word with Greek roots and it connotes the idea of the opportune time or the right time for something to be done. Carrie Chapman Catt made extensive use of this type of speech in her address to Congress in November 1917. Below are details from the address to highlight this.

1.<em> "Woman suffrage is inevitable. Suffragists knew it before November 4, 1917; opponents afterward"</em>: Catt began her speech with the words above. The inevitability of the suffrage movement was something Catt knew would always happen for even though the proponents of the movement, knew this before her speech was delivered, opponents of it would soon come to realize it after her speech. She gave three reasons to back this idea. One of them would be mentioned below.

2. "<em>Second, the suffrage for women already established in the United States makes women suffrage for the nation inevitable".</em><em> </em>Catt here meant that it was time to institute women's suffrage because the United States is a  democratic nation, therefore, it is just not possible to have undemocratic policies applied to one section of the nation.

3<em>. </em><em>" "There is one thing mightier than kings and armies" -- aye, than Congresses and political parties -- "the power of an idea when its time has come to move." The time for woman suffrage has come.":</em><em> </em>This was a clear case of the use of Kairos by Catt for here she clearly stated that the time for women's suffrage which has been inevitable all along, had finally come.
