Answer 1

In 1928, the Kellogg-Briand Pact was adopted and President Calvin Coolidge refused to run for re-election, leading to Herbert Hoover's nomination and election as president.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1928, two significant events occurred in the political landscape of the United States during the 1920s. The Kellogg-Briand Pact was a notable international agreement aimed at preventing war, and it was adopted in 1928. Moreover, this was the year when President Calvin Coolidge famously refused to run for re-election, enunciating his decision with the succinct statement, 'I choose not to run.' Although he did not participate in the 1928 election, his Secretary of Commerce, Herbert Hoover, became the Republican nominee and subsequently won the presidency. Therefore, the correct answers to the events that happened in 1928 would be 'A. Kellogg-Briand Pact is adopted' and 'B. Coolidge refuses to run for president.'

Answer 2

B. Coolidge refuses to run for president

D. Hoover is elected president

Step-by-step explanation:

B. Coolidge refuses to run for president

In 1928, Coolidge releases a statement stating that he will not be running for the second term as the President of the United States. He explained his decision by saying the presidential office is taking a heavy toll from those who inhabit it and those who love it. Although we should not refuse to spend and be invested in our country's government, it is dangerous to try and accomplish what we believe is beyond our power.

D. Hoover is elected president

In 1928, Hoover becomes the 36th President of the United States. He was in office during the great depression that occurs in 1930.
