<span>Cloture--with a 2/3 majority Senate vote a filibuster can be ended.

A filibuster is a long speech meant to block the vote of a bill. Both sides of Congress are able to filibuster and was used regularly starting in the 1850s. However, as the House of Representatives grew, filibustering could prevent anything from getting accomplished in Congress. The Progressive Era set to reform many government procedures and the introduction of cloture by the Wilson administration created a way around a filibuster allowing for Congress to move forward with their business if 2/3 of the chamber voted to end the filibuster. </span>

The Senate's check on a filibuster is known as a cloture. This is done by getting a vote of 3/5 of the house, approximately 60 votes. This is a rare thing to get due to number of the votes required. Rarely does one party actually have that much control.

Which president vetoed the Reconstruction Acts and the Fourteenth
Alchen [17]

The correct answer is letter C

Johnson took over the presidency. Once at the top of the country, Johnson tried to implement his autonomy policies, against which the Republicans, who defended the Union's control over the states, vigorously rebelled. Republicans dominated Congress, imposing enormous difficulties on Andrew Johnson's administration.

Johnson continued to rebuild the former Confederate states while Congress was in recess. When Congress met in December 1865, slavery was being abolished. But the "black codes", which regulated the freed slaves, were beginning to appear.

Radical Republicans in Congress, alarmed by the restrictions imposed on blacks, acted to change Johnson's program. Refusing to accept any congressman or senator from the former Confederation, they approved measures aimed at ex-slaves. Johnson vetoed the legislation. Congress overturned its veto and passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866, establishing blacks as American citizens and prohibiting any discrimination against them.

Suffrage means _________________________.
belka [17]
Suffrage means THAT ALL ADULT MEN AND WOMEN HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE.

Initially, only men were allowed to vote. This was because the society in the earlier times were dominated by males as a figure of authority. It was believed that women were naturally inferior to men and that they are subjected under the rule of men. However, in later years, women's civil rights were recognized and they were also given the right to vote and run for electoral office.
