A device that allows groups to propose laws that the public will vote on in the next general election ballot, thereby bypassing elected officials, is a(n) Initiative.

<h3>What is the Ballot Initiative?</h3>

The ballot initiative, a form of direct democracy, is the process through which citizens exercise the power to place measures otherwise considered by state legislatures or local governments on statewide and local ballots for a public vote. Successful ballot initiatives can create, change or repeal state and local laws, or amend state constitutions and local charters. Ballot initiatives can also be used simply to force state or local legislative bodies to consider the subject of the initiative.

The first documented approval for the use of the ballot initiative process by a state legislature appeared in the first constitution of Georgia, ratified in 1777.

vodomira [7]

Answer:

The U.S. Constitution defines several powers exclusive to the U.S. Congress, among them:

  • The power to raise revenue (collect taxes). Bills that raise revenue have to originate in the House.
  • The power to impeach the President. One of its most famous discretionary powers. The House accuses, and the Senate decides the trial.
  • The power to confirm Justices of the Supreme Court - also a discretionary power given specifically to the Senate: the president presents a candidate, and the Senate either confirms or rejects the candidate.

1. Prothero thinks that being religiously literate is a good thing. Explain what he means by religious literacy and give me your
GaryK [48]

Religious literacy is understanding and interpreting the religious texts without any outside help.

Explanation:

Stephen Prothero is one of the leading religious scholars in the US who derives his thought from the tenets of Protestantism as Martin Luther envisioned it.

One of the biggest tenets is for a person to understand and work their own religion. All religious people must know and understand their texts and be able to interpret it by themselves without any outside help being needed.

This is to prevent god men and scholars to take over their religious practices and being able to be professing their religion.

What characteristic is shared by sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections?
Temka [501]

The characteristic, shared by sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections, are :

  • They appear as dark spots on the sun's surface.
  • They tend to occur during active periods of the solar cycle.

What is the solar cycle?

  • The solar cycle, also known as the solar magnetic activity cycle, sunspot cycle, or Schwabe cycle, is a nearly periodic 11-year change in the Sun's activity measured in terms of variations in the number of observed sunspots on the Sun's surface.
  • Over the period of a solar cycle, levels of solar radiation and ejection of solar material, the number and size of sunspots, solar flares, and coronal loops all exhibit a synchronized fluctuation from a period of minimum activity to a period of a maximum activity back to a period of minimum activity.
  • This cycle has been observed for centuries by changes in the Sun's appearance and by terrestrial phenomena such as aurora but was not clearly identified until 1843.
  • Solar activity, driven by both the solar cycle and transient aperiodic processes, governs the environment of interplanetary space by creating space weather and impacting space- and ground-based technologies as well as the Earth's atmosphere and also possibly climate fluctuations on scales of centuries and longer.
