<u>They were legislators who would "sell" their votes on a bill for free steak dinners</u>, was the problem speaker Sam Rayburn identified with the ""steak men"" at the beginning of the twentieth century.

They were politicians that worked for the cattle business. They were lawmakers who traded their votes for complimentary steak meals on a measure.

The conservative faction of the state Democratic party frequently clashed with Rayburn because he consistently supported the Democratic candidate for president throughout his career.

The 1950s saw the height of that controversy when Rayburn backed Adlai E. Stevenson for president despite the majority of state elected officials siding with Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Sam Rayburn's legislative career does show a pattern of general regularity, however it is difficult to categorize his career.

Which of the following actions is most likely to cause tension
Degger [83]

Explanation:

Individualism includes: Freedom, assertiveness, and personal uniqueness

Rule of Law includes: Impartiality, fairness and equality

I would assume that uniqueness and assertiveness cause tension towards fairness and equality, as people will believe and value what they want; it may not always be fair for other people or the ideals they praise may not be equal to everyone else either, nor right. For example... dictatorship, some people would praise it, while the idea silences and damages people and connections, therefore causing tension, as what's being praised and the outcome... aren't fair or the same.
