What was the reason for the drastic increase in congressional staff during the 20th century?

History
1 answer:
Georgia [21]3 years ago
4 0
<span>Congressional staff increased greatly in the 20th century due to the shift in politics from grassroots to higher levels of lobbying, groups and special interests. The congress person was not only invested in their district but in those special interest groups requesting meetings and events with the congressperson. By increasing staff, they would be able to learn more about these groups and lobbyists so they could make a more informed decision. It also allowed the staff to deal directly with the public. A congressman in the early 20th century would only have in person visits and the occasional phone call, but by the end of the 20th century, the congressperson would have contact via appointment, call, letter, email and even rudimentary instant contact via Instant Messenger and sites like Myspace.</span>

14. The excerpt best serves as evidence of which of the following developments?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

The answer is option C "The creation of a unique American culture"

Explanation:

America's scholarly fulfillment during the seventeenth and eighteenth Century, while not second rate compared to those of the nations of Europe, were in any case of a quite extraordinary character.

It was the methods of applied science that most energized the psyches of Americans, who, confronted with the issue of quelling a frequently wild and raucous land, found in science the most ideal approach to clarify, and in the end to tackle, those powers around them.

Eventually this logical method of thought may be applied to the issues of common society also, yet generally the accentuation in pioneer America stayed on science and innovation, not politics or mysticism.
