<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.

Explain how one scientist builds on the discoveries of a previous scientist to make new advances.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Example: Galileo and Copernicus

Explanation:

Copernicus had come up with the idea of heliocentrism. Back then, everyone had believed the other planets revolved around the Earth, but Copernicus had done the math and realized the Earth and everything else revolved around the Sun. The Sun was the center of our solar system, not the Earth. But because he was accused of blasphemy from the Catholic church, he didn't share his ideas until his book published right before he died. Years later, Galileo took his idea, observed and researched, and found evidence backing Copernicus's theories. That's why today we know the truth about how the Sun is at the center of everything. Galileo built on Copernicus's discoveries and ideas, found evidence, and proved it was true.
