What role did the silent majority play in the presidential election of 1972?

if he hasn't figured out he's a human by now, i don't think he ever will ~elf so to answer your question, there's two real answers one: if nixon didn't appeal to the silent majority in his silent majority speech of 1969, he never would have gotten re-elected. he knew that while protesting groups were against the vietnam war, the majority that were not as concerned with the hippie culture and politics etc, backed up his logic for stopping communism and allowing the war to continue. two: nixon's "silent majority" was a political slogan used to get people to think that the majority of american's were on his side. he made it sound as though there was a great majority of people who backed him up while in reality, most americans were looking for peace and a way out of the war, as they were when johnson was president. the "silent majority" had no influence in the election of 1972-- the only reason he was able to win was because in the midst of a war the people did not want to risk a shift in power.

Did Pierre Trudeau have a majority government or a minority government?

Pierre Trudeau's party, the Liberals, won more than half the seats in the 1968 Election. Therefore Trudeau led a majority government. In 1972, Pierre Trudeau and the Liberals won the largest number of seats, but not more than half of them, so he then led a minority government. In 1974, Trudeau once again won a majority. The Liberals lost the 1979 election to Joe Clark's Conservatives. Joe Clark led a minority government. Clark's government was inept. Within a few months it was defeated on a vote of non-confidence. In the ensuing election, Trudeau's Liberals won a majority. Trudeau stepped down before the next election.
