Is it possibly irony that this book was likely a satire that never was understood?

I'm assuming they would not have accepted "the most popular book by (book's author)".

They sure did. Plus, the defending champ, the doable blonde chick, would've won had she bet smart, but she wagered all she had. I just don't understand how many people on the show fail to apply basic wagering strategy, particularly defending champs.

I've only missed Daguerre so far. And that Little Prince/The Prince mixup happened during my Academic Team days once as well.

Got the election, and not the Jefferson one.

Regarding "The Prince," I learned that it wasn't a satire... but a "how to" document written by Machiavelli in an effort to get a job and to get himself out of the political doghouse.

Answer
Wednesday September 23, 2015
Category: HISTORIC LEGISLATION
Clue: IN 1820 JEFFERSON CALLED THIS BILL "THE KNELL OF THE UNION", SAYING "A GEOGRAPHICAL LINE… WILL NEVER BE OBLITERATED"

Answer: What was The Missouri Compromise?
I just overthought this and locked up. The correct answer came to me immediately, but I started thinking no actual bill/law would've had a name like that; a more official sounding name, like the Fugitive Slave Act or the Kansas-Nebraska Act must be the answer. Good lesson for me; don't think, react.
