The correct answer is: creating trusts.

Rockefeller´s Standard Oil company bought up his competitors and created the US’s first monopoly.

2. What are two important differences between the<br> House and the Senate?
ddd [48]

Answer:

Today, Congress consists of 100 senators (two from each state) and 435 voting members of the

House of Representatives. The terms of office and number of members directly affects each

institution. With four times the membership, the House follows procedures closely and limits

debate. Debate is nearly unlimited in the Senate and all members have an opportunity to

influence legislation. Senators feel less pressure to move quickly on issues.

Explanation:

The House and Senate are equal partners in the legislative process—legislation cannot be enacted without the consent of both chambers. However, the Constitution grants each chamber some unique powers. The Senate ratifies treaties and approves presidential appointments while the House initiates revenue-raising bills.

What could be done to increase turnout constitutional amendment elections?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
Political parties have used state-level ballot initiatives to motivate voter turnout in different ways.
For example, in 2004, the Republican Party put a constitutional amendment on gay marriage on the ballot in many states. This move motivated Republican voters to show up on Election Day to vote against the measures, which defeated the initiatives and helped President George W. Bush beat John Kerry.
In 2018, the trends in ballot initiatives show a focus on transportation and taxes.
