7 0

Answer:

b. an effort to talk long enough to prevent a vote on a bill.

Explanation:

A filibuster is a political process which consists of debating over a proposed piece of legislation in a way that purposely delays or prevents having to make a decision on it. This usually takes place in a Parliament or Congress, as these are generally the bodies of government that deliberate on legislation. This form of obstruction in a legislature is a powerful political device.

What was the transformation that was most responsible for initially moving humans toward civilization?
Leni [432]
The correct answer is agriculture. It was made possible for people to live on a single piece of land and not be nomadic anymore in search of food. Agriculture enabled them to settle around river valleys like Nile or Tigris and Euphrates. This is the era when civilizations started rising worldwide.

Why was thomas hutchinson a loyalist
Art [367]

Answer:

Hope I could help xxxxx ;P

Explanation:

Thomas Hutchinson was the last royal governor of Massachusetts Bay, a prominent loyalist, and a noted historian, both of his colony and his times. A native Bostonian, born September 9, 1711 to a wealthy merchant family, Hutchinson was, like many of his future political opponents, educated at Harvard University. In 1737 he was elected to the Massachusetts assembly, of which he was Speaker from 1746 to 1748. His support for an unpopular measure to redeem the colony's depreciated paper currency led to his defeat for re-election in 1749. He was then appointed to the Governor's Council and served as a delegate to the Albany Congress of 1754, where he joined Benjamin Franklin in drawing up a plan of American union. Hutchinson was made lieutenant governor of the province in 1758 and chief justice in 1760, offices he held simultaneously, much to the chagrin of Boston radicals such as James Otis (who believed he had been promised the latter post).
