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>

When did modern humans, or Homo sapiens firs appear
vitfil [10]
<span>The current thinking is around 200,000 years ago, but I would argue against this by saying that humans had not yet developed the same mental capacity that we have today, as some cognitive ability would have been needed in making art, which of course seems to have appeared around 70,000 years ago in its geometric form, where as the figurative animal paintings and carvings came to be around 40-35 thousand years ago. So, humans were physically definitely modern around 200ka, but mentally, this is unlikely. It is of course possible to argue that behavioural changes need not to be dictated by physiological or cognitive changes. Art could just be an invention</span>
