One irony about the electoral college is that the founding fathers did not want congress to elect the president but if there is an electoral college tie this body chooses the president.
a. the congress
c. the house of representatives
b. the senate
d. the supreme court

c. The house of representatives.

Explanation:

The irony in this situation is that, while the Founding Fathers did not want the Congress to elect the president, the House of Representatives would end up choosing the president if no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes. If this were to happen, each state delegation would have one vote. The irony in this case lies in the fact that the House of Representatives is part of Congress (along with the Senate).

If there is a tie in the electoral college vote, the House of Representatives will choose the President and the Senate will choose the Vice President. This has only ever happened twice - once in 1800 (Jefferson) and once in 1824 (Adams). 

Self governing bodies

Explanation:

European Empire collapsed after 1945. In the depression of 1930, colonies suffered badly so in a way, after 1930, European politician allowed the empire to turn into self governing bodies.

European colonies had to bear the burnt of the European politicians. After World War 2 Europe went into a great debt and because of the debt the politician of Europe levied heavy taxes on their colonies.

European colonies were already in a devastated condition after the depression of 1930. They knew that they couldn’t pay the taxes.

Along with this European politicians also forced the colonies to make raw materials for European factories.

This all led to colonies breaking apart from Europe and turning into self governing bodies.
