The congress is made up of many
different kinds of committees. One of these committees is a standing committee,
which is best described as a permanent subject-matter committee. In total, there
are 20 standing committee in the House of Representatives, while there are 16
in the senate. Most bills sponsored to the congress receive consideration in
the standing committee under whose jurisdiction the matters contained in the
bill fall. Usually the congress follows the recommendations of the standing committee
on the fate of a bill.
The line D) all men are created equal is found within the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence was written and adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776.
