a. logrolling
c. supporting casework
b. pork-barrel legislation
d. propositions for casework

Answer 1

C. supporting casework

Answer 2

Answer:

logrolling

Explanation:

Logrolling is a term used to refer to a situation where a strategic exchange of votes occurs. This strategy is used by the government to secure the number of votes required to approve the amendments. Thus, in an attempt to secure the minimum number of votes, the government created a system in which representatives would only vote on each other if they had some kind of return in return for their votes.

Thus, we can say that when the representatives of Michigan and New Jersey agreed to back each other's accounts to help them pass the floor of Congress, they are in a situation where logrolling occurs.
