Answer:

The period of conflict and political upheaval in  the Republic of Congo is known as Congo Crisis. It began immediately when it got freedom from Belgium and Joseph Desire Mobutu became its dictator, during the crisis he was serving as Chief of staff of the Army. The Congo crisis was an indirect conflict during  the Cold War in which  Belgium and United states supported Mobutu.  More than 90,000 people were killed in the crisis and Mobutu seized power from president Kasavubu in 1965.

The Belgian Congo, French Congo Belge, was the previous settlement in Africa, ruled by Belgium from 1908 until 1960. It was established by the Belgian parliament to supplant the past, exclusive Congo Free State, after worldwide shock over maltreatment there brought weight for supervision and responsibility.

The official Belgian frame of mind was paternalism: Africans were to be thought about and prepared as though they were youngsters. They had no job in enactment, yet customary rulers were utilized as operators to gather charges and enroll work; uncooperative rulers were dismissed. In the late 1950s, when France and the United Kingdom worked with their states to get ready for freedom, Belgium still depicted the Congo as an ideal place that is known for parent-child connections among Europeans and Africans.

1. What role does the legislative branch (Congress) play in passing a law?
vovikov84 [41]
1. The legislative branch of government (Congress) examines a proposed bill and can either reject it or vote to make it into a law.

2. When Congress votes in favor of making a bill into law, the Executive Branch of government (The President) signs it into law. If the President does not approve of the bill, he/she can veto it, and send recommendations to Congress to amend the bill. 

If Congress approves a bill by 2/3 or more of both the house and senate, it shall become law, and the President cannot veto it.

3. The Judicial Branch of government (The Supreme Court) interprets laws and upholds the Constitution. When disagreements occur between the legislative and executive branches of government, the judicial branch has the power to resolve the disagreement by interpreting the law in view of existing laws and the Constitution.

4. The varying roles of the three branches of government provide a system of checks and balances so that no branch of government can abuse power or authority over the governed.
