<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.

What is the purpose of isolationism
Pavel [41]

Answer: Isolationism refers to America's longstanding reluctance to become involved in European alliances and wars. Isolationists held the view that America's perspective on the world was different from that of European societies and that America could advance the cause of freedom and democracy by means other than war.

<em>There are many benefits of isolationism that can be good for a country. For instance by not getting involve with foreign problems isolationism promotes peace in the country. Therefore it allows the government to focus more on needs of the country.</em>

Why was Birmingham chosen as the site for a major civil rights campaign?
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:  B) It was one of the most segregated cities in America.

Details:  In point of fact, Birmingham was known by reputation as "the most segregated city in America."  In his Letter from a Birmingham Jail, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., said that he  had come to Birmingham because injustice existed there, in the same way that Old Testament prophets had left their own towns and villages to go and confront injustice in other towns in their day.

Birmingham also became a central point of focus because of a tragedy that had occurred there.  In September, 1963, the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham was bombed in an act of terrorism by Ku Klux Klan members. Four black girls (ages 11-14) were killed, and and fourteen other persons at the church were injured.  The bombing in Birmingham sparked the African American community into strong action in Alabama to push for the rights of black citizens.
