Answer:
The aspect of the US Congress that most reflects the constitutional valve of republicanism is the existence of two congressional chambers, the House of Representatives and the Senate, which exercise joint power in legislative terms, and are jointly limited in such a way that both chambers must pass the bill so that it becomes law. In turn, another republican value that is reflected in the organization of Congress is the system of checks and balances through which Congress controls the actions of the other two branches of the federal state: the executive branch and the judicial branch.
Answer:
GUTIÉRREZ DE LARA, JOSÉ BERNARDO MAXIMILIANO (1774–1841).José Bernardo Maximiliano Gutiérrez de Lara, Mexican revolutionary and diplomat, son of Santiago Gutiérrez de Lara and Maria Uribe, was born at Revilla (present Guerrero), Tamaulipas, Mexico, on August 20, 1774. He married his cousin María Josefa Uribe and became a merchant, blacksmith, and property owner at Revilla. During the Mexican War of Independence, led by Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, Gutiérrez and his brother were successful in fomenting revolution in Nuevo Santander, and Gutiérrez was sent by Hidalgo to recruit along the Rio Grande. After the Casas Revolt, Gutiérrez was commissioned by the rebels to solicit aid in the United States. He left Saltillo for the United States on March 17, 1811, going by way of Revilla to collect supplies. After the capture of Hidalgo, he resolved to continue his mission and in August 1811 went to Natchitoches, Louisiana. In October he left for Washington, D.C., with letters of introduction from John Sibley and arrived on December 11, 1811. He was received by Secretary of State James Monroe, who listened to the plans for establishment of a republican government in Texas and use of Texas as a base for effecting the liberation of Mexico. During his stay in Washington the Mexican leader met the ministers of Britain, Denmark, and Russia, and visited the representative from revolutionary Venezuela. Also in Washington, Gutiérrez met José Álvarez de Toledo, and with Álvarez in Philadelphia in January 1812 made plans for the liberation of Texas and Mexico. Back in Louisiana in March 1812, Gutiérrez was introduced to William Shaler, special agent from the United States, who helped Gutiérrez to return to Texas. In April 1812 the two men were in Natchitoches, where the Gutiérrez-Magee expedition assembled and set out for Texas.

Explanation:
As the periodic bloodshed continues in the Middle East, the search for
an equitable solution must come to grips with the root cause of the
conflict. The conventional wisdom is that, even if both sides are at
fault, the Palestinians are irrational “terrorists” who have no point of
view worth listening to. Our position, however, is that the
Palestinians have a real grievance: their homeland for over a thousand
years was taken, without their consent and mostly by force, during the

When the Constitution was being written, the men writing the document realized it might have to be altered in the future. Since the document was written in a general format, the delegates realized that as time changed, it might be necessary to change the Constitution. However, the delegates believed that it should be more difficult to change the Constitution than to change a law. Thus, they required two-thirds of both houses of Congress and three-fourths of the state governments to agree to change it.
The ideas for making specific changes came from many places. One of the places where people looked for change was in the English
