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>

Why did both supporters and opponents of immigration quotas believe they were defending American traditions and values?
BabaBlast [244]
The idea of immigration quotas generated much heat among Americans, some supported the idea while others were completely against it. The Americans who supported the idea of immigration quotas believed that America is a land of immigrants and foreigners should be allowed to move into the country in order to enrich diversity in the country. The opponents on the other hands believed that immigrants, with their diverse cultures, religions and traditions will have negative impacts on America. Besides, they believe that allowing these people into America will cause unemployment.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]
Craig Kielburger was motivated to start the organization when he was 12 and read a story about a Pakistani boy who died due to child labor. He decided to create the organization and raise awareness in North America about this problem and how it can be stopped. Now it deals with many more things like education and youth empowerment, not just preventing child labor.
