The legislative branch can `` check ‘’ the executive branch by rejecting the President`s veto of a legislative action …this is known as an override . A two third vote in each legislative chamber ( House of Representatives and Senate ) is required to override a Presidential veto .
The Senate can reject a treaty that the Executive has signed ; a two thirds vote in the Senate is required to formally enact a treaty .
The Senate must approve Executive appointments to cabinet , and the Federal Judiciary .
The ultimate check for the legislative branch is the power to impeach and remove the president . The House of Representatives acts as prosecutor , and The Senate acts as jury . The House of Representatives drafted articles of impeachment against President Richard Nixon in 1974 , but Nixon resigned the office of the presidency before he was formally impeached .
When Caliph Umar conquered Jerusalem for Islam, he chose the Temple Mount as a place for Muslim worship. Today, the Haram Al-Sharif includes major sites of worship for Muslims, such as the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa Mosque. Muslims hold the Temple Mount sacred as the site where Mohammed ascended to heaven.
<u>Question 1</u>
The correct answer is: "FALSE".
The total revenue earned by a firm is computed using the formula:
R= price * quantity
According to the formula, if the term "price" increases, R would increase too. But an increase in price usually decreases the amount demanded by consumers of a certain product. Therefore, if quantity demanded drops in a higher proportion than the increase in price, the final total revenue would decrease. So the final effect depends on the size of the two variations.
<u>Question 2</u>
<u>The determinants of demand are the following:</u>
- Price: inversely related to the quantity demanded, as the larger the price the smaller the amount demanded of a product.
- Income of consumers: directly related. The larger the income earned by an economic agent, the larger the amount demanded of a normal good (there are exceptions, such as inferior goods, for which income and demand are inversely related).
- Prices of related goods of services. If two goods are substitutes, the increase on the price of one, decreases the amount demanded of that product but increases the amount demanded of the other product. It two goods are complements, the increase in the price of one good decreases the amount demanded of it, and the amount demanded of the other product too.
- Tastes or preferences of consumers. If a product is in line with the general preferences of consumers the amount demanded will be large.
- Market expectations. For example, if a price is expected to rise, consumers might prefer to buy now and therefore demand increases at the moment.
