Answer:

i think this is the answer

Explanation:

The U.S. Congress is the Legislative Branch of the federal government. It has two bodies. The Senate has two elected officials from each state. The House of Representatives' membership is based on each state's population. These two houses provide a check and balance. The Senate makes sure each state has equal representation. The House of Representatives allows states with more people to have a bigger voice.

Since the First Congress, which met from 1789 to 1791, all Congresses have been numbered in order. The session usually lasts from January 3rd to July 31st, but in special cases, it can last longer.

Every other November, voters elect all 435 Representatives and a third of the Senators. The newly-elected Congressmen don't take office until January. The time between those two dates is known as the Lame Duck Session. The members who weren't re-elected have less political power. As they're leaving in a few weeks, often nothing gets done.

Which group was most opposed to socialism?
Dimas [21]

The correct answer is: "the wealthy"

Socialism is based on the ideas of Karl Marx. Marx claimed for a social revolt, in which the majority of people in society, that he denominated the proletariats (factory workers, farmers, etc), should rise against the bourgeousie, the social class that was constituted by the minority of rich people, who owned the means of production and therefore where the employers that exploited the proletariats. Under this social system, those who were already rich would continue increasing their fortunes at the expense of the working class, that suffered awful working and living conditions.

The rich classes in society, constituted by the members of the bourgeoisie, were the ones who feared socialism as it meant a threat to the status quo and hence to their privileged position in society .
