it D. The word "impeachment" derives from Old French empeechier from Latin impedicare expressing the idea of becoming caught or entrapped, and has analogues in the modern French verb empêcher (to prevent) and the modern English impede. Medieval popular etymology also associated it (wrongly) with derivations from the Latin impetere (to attack). (In its more frequent and more technical usage, impeachment of a witness means challenging the honesty or credibility of that person.)
Impeachment was first used in the British political system.<span>[citation needed]</span> Specifically, the process was first used by the English "Good Parliament" against Baron Latimer
in the second half of the 14th century. Following the British example,
the constitutions of Virginia (1776), Massachusetts (1780) and other
states thereafter adopted the impeachment mechanism, but they restricted
the punishment to removal of the official from office. As well, in
private organizations, a motion to impeach can be used to prefer charges.<span />
The seventeenth amendment is a reform, since it raises a change in the way senators are elected in each state.
The Seventeenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States (Amendment XVII) establishes the direct election of the United States Senate by popular vote. The amendment replaces Article I, Section 3, Clauses 1 and 2 of the constitution, under which the Senate was elected by the State Legislatures. It also alters the method of filling vacancies in the Senate, to be consistent with the method of choice. It was adopted in April 1913.
This form of election is very beneficial for the people, since they are the ones who directly choose the senators that represent them.
Some people will say that this form of election is a bad idea, since the elected senators could be from a political party opposed to the one that bovierna in the state at that time, and therefore could be difficult communication. In this way these people prefer that the senators are elected by the legislature of each state, in order to ensure a fluid and more harmonious communication.
Pretty sure it’s 14th and 15th, but I could be wrong.
Make laws,pass laws,originating spending bills,impeaching officials, and approving treaties.
