Answer 1

The correct answer is 4) the president would be a Republican, and the cabinet would contain Democrats.

The deal that Democrats and Republicans made regarding the presidential election of 1876 was that "the president would be a Republican, and the cabinet would contain Democrats."

In the presidential election of 1876, American citizens elected the 23rd President of the United States. It ended up being one of the most disputed and controversial elections at the time. Eventually, Republican candidate Rutherford B. Hayes defeated Democrat candidate Samuel T. Tiden, by an electoral vote of 185-184. However, the popular vote was won by Tiden. Finally, the negotiation was that the president would be a Republican, and the cabinet would contain Democrats.

Answer 2

I believe the answer is: The president would be a Republican, and the cabinet would contain Democrats.

By doing this, both the republican and the Democrat able to separate the power within the government and they can limit each other's influence in creating the legislation. (The president has the power to create executive order and the cabinets had the power to overrule the president if they got more than 2/3 of the votes)
