They knew that people were going to change, and that the Constitution had to change with them. In order to be a working document, it had to be changed to reflect what was going on. At the same time they wanted changes to be taken seriously so they made it difficult to change things.
A bill is a an idea that can come from any person but that unlike other forms of legislation like joint resolutions they are proposed to affect not the general public or the legislation at large, but rather resolve issues in specific cases. A bill can be private, in which instance it only affects an organization or a person in particular, or it can be a general bill, which affects the public at large. A bill can, as said before, be proposed by anyone. However, in order for it to be processed, it must be sponsored by a member of Congress, be it a Senator or House Representative and the House must be in session. Bills can be introduced either at the House or Senate by the sponsor(s). If it happens at the House, the bill is placed into a box known as the hopper on the Speaker´s platform. If it is otherwise introduced in the Senate, it must be either placed on the desk of the presiding officer or it must be formally introduced on the Senate´s Floor. This is why the only thing that never happens when introducing a bill in Congress is that the president may make an announcement in a press conference. Correct answer is therefore D.
Explanation:
As governance indicators have proliferated in recent years, so has their use and the controversy that surrounds them. As more and more voices are pointing out, existing indicators – many of them developed and launched in the 1990s – have a number of flaws. This is particularly disquieting at a time when governance is at the very top of the development agenda.
Many questions of crucial importance to the development community – such as issues around the relationship between governance and (inclusive) growth, or about the effectiveness of aid in different contexts – are impossible to answer with confidence as long as we do not have good enough indicators, and hence data, on governance.
The litany of problems concerning existing governance indicators has been growing:
Indicators produced by certain NGOs (e.g. the Heritage Foundation), but also by commercial risk rating agencies (such as the PRS Group), are biased towards particular types of policies, and consequently, the assessment of governance becomes mingled with the assessment of policy choices;
Many indicators rely on surveys of business people (e.g. the World Economic Forum's Executive Opinion Survey). While they have important insights into governance challenges given their interaction with government bureaucracies, the views of other stakeholders are also important and remain underrepresented, as are concerns about governance of less relevance to the business community (e.g. civil and human rights);
The other main methodology used are indicators produced by individuals or small groups of external experts – for example, the World Bank’s Country Policy and Institutional Assessment (CPIA), Bertelsmann’s Transformation Index, and the French Development Agency’s Institutional Profiles. This entails the risk that different experts ‘feed’ on each other’s ratings; and the depth to which external raters are able to explore the dimensions they are rating can vary.
The Government's role in building and maintaining the nation's infrastructure would be that they have control of what we do as a first world country and making sure that we don't go bankrupt, or run ourselves into the ground. The federal government should be the main source of the funding, however if it's only a state problem than it would be the state and local funds.
