1. “Revolution” of 1800 (pp. 211–215) The election of 1800 was the first between organized political parties and the first of several to be decided on the basis of quirks in the Constitution. Why did Jefferson consider his victory in 1800 over the Federalist John Adams and his own vice-presidential running mate Aaron Burr to be “revolutionary”? What other “revolutionary” aspect of this election is added by the authors on p. 215?

A little over 45 years ago a piece of legislation was brought forth of the Education Amendments to congress. This piece of legislation is the very piece that has shaped today’s society into some of the equality progression we have now. When people bring up this piece in conversation today, people are either super passionate or very confused. Title IX, brought up in 1972 is still a very confusing and misinterpreted piece, most people just know it gives women rights in sports. However, this piece does so much more and has such an extensive timeline along with it.

Uncertainty is ubiquitous and accompanies all events in the real world. It covers all fields of scientific studies, and is inevitable in many aspects of decision making [28]. The essence of uncertainty is the lack of complete knowledge at the time a decision must be made [7]. Uncertainty arises from different sources in various forms, and complicates and affects decision making [28]. Even worse, it may
