Answer 2

The correct answers are A and C. The Supreme Court ruling in Bush v. Gore had the following effects:

-Bush became President.

-The Florida Supreme Court was overruled.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bush v. Gore was a United States Supreme Court judgment on December 12, 2000, which determined the election results of the 2000 presidential election in favor of George W. Bush.

With 7 to 2 votes, the Supreme Court decided that Florida's Supreme Court's method of re-counting votes from the election was unconstitutional. At the same time, the Supreme Court ruled with 5 to 4 votes that no alternative method for securing Florida's election results could be implemented within the time limit for Florida's election law.

With the 25 Florida voters, Bush thus gained 271 votes in the ballot, against Albert Gore's 266 final votes. The verdict therefore decided the election outcome.
