The United States has least access to free health care because the nation does not have socialist laws.
The correct answer is C. The Rules Committee decides whether the debate can take place.
The House of Representatives is part of the of the federal government's legislative branch and shares equal responsibility for lawmaking with the U.S. Senate (the other part of the legislative branch), and each state is guaranteed at least one member of the House of Representatives.
When a bill is introduced in the House (<em>A bill can only be introduced by a member of the House called a sponsor</em>) it is sent to a committee, the committee votes on whether it should be scheduled or not and if they vote in favor the Rules Committee will study the bill carefully, and make a recommendation.
The Rules Committee determines which bills advance to the floor calendar for consideration by the full Senate and is <em>in charge of deciding the rules of the debate</em> (conditions and amount of time allocated for general debate) and whether the debate can take place or not.
Answer:
The Wilmington & Weldon Railroad (W&W) was the new name adopted in February 1855 by the Wilmington & Raleigh Railroad (completed in 1840), which ran from Wilmington to Weldon by way of Goldsboro and Rocky Mount, bypassing Raleigh. As a central rail link along the Atlantic Coast, it carried heavy traffic during the Civil War and made a considerable profit (in Confederate currency) for its owners. Because the W&W had its own facilities for rerolling iron rails and did not lie in the path of military action until the very end of the war, it suffered somewhat less than many other roads of the region and entered the Reconstruction period dilapidated but intact.
For 20 years after the war, Robert R. Bridgers of Edgecombe County served as president of the W&W. With backers including the Walters family of Baltimore, he developed interlocking directorates, leases, and traffic agreements (using the W&W as a base) that led to the formation of the Atlantic Coast Line Company and the eventual merger with the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad (ACL). In November 1872 the W&W had been leased to its southern connection, the Wilmington, Columbia, and Augusta, but the lease lapsed when the latter road failed to pay the W&W dividend in 1877. Bridgers and his associates acquired control of the Wilmington, Columbia, and Augusta in October 1879, and in June 1885 they leased it to the W&W for 99 years.

Answer: True
Explanation:
Decades before the Civil War broke out, many states in the North had abolished slavery and support was increasing for the abolition of slavery in all of the United States.
However, in the 1950s, most Northerners did not necessarily want slavery abolished even through they opposed it. They wanted it to be gradually removed because they did not want the freed blacks coming to take their jobs and they were worried about war with the South. The Civil War changed their minds.
