To be called morally upright means that you have high moral standards and character.
Yes, I agree with the other person - absolutism is the political system in which a ruler holds total power.
It means that the ruler can pretty much do whatever he or she wishes to do, because they are not constrained by laws or any other political body. This type of government is very similar to dictatorship and totalitarianism.
Answer:
He replaced the elected consuls and the Senate with an empire that could be inherited by members of the ruler's family.
Explanation:
Sulla, not being the Emperor in the modern sense of the word, he, however, possessed sole and unlimited power in the republic. His dictatorship dates back to 83-80 years BC, but the period of his sole rule began, in fact, in the 88th, when Sulla was elected consul. He held this post for eight years against all laws, including the Constitution. Formally, democratic institutions existed under him. There was even a second consul. But this consul was 'technical,' fulfilling the will of Sulla. There was a Senate, which was controlled in the same way by a dictator. The death of Sulla did not lead to major changes. The transition to one-man rule was a matter of time.
The 2003 Texas redistricting refers to a controversial mid-decade congressional redistricting plan. In the 2004 elections, it resulted in the Republicans taking a majority of Texas's House seats for the first time since Reconstruction. Opponents challenged the plan in three suits, combined when the case went to the United States Supreme Court in League of United Latin American Citizens v. Perry.
On June 28, 2006, the Supreme Court upheld the statewide redistricting as constitutional, with the exception of Texas' 23rd congressional district, which it held was racially gerrymandered in violation of Section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, apparently to try to protect a Hispanic Republican representative. A three-judge Federal District Court redrew District 23 and four other nearby districts: 15, 21, 25, and 28. In November 2006, a special election was held in the new districts, with all incumbents winning except in District 23. There, Republican incumbent Henry Bonilla was forced into a December run-off which he lost to Democratic challenger Ciro Rodriguez. I hope this helps!
