Answer:

The agencies being referred in Rachel Carson's <em>"Silent Spring"</em> are the state and federal agencies.

They are being reduced to the "so-called control agencies" because they don't really know much about the <em>effects of chemical insecticides</em> and how <em>potentially dangerous </em>they are to living things, yet they are the ones who allow its distribution to people.<u> They control the insects in the world</u> by allowing spraying operations, however they don't have any idea on how much damage they are causing to the world. Carson reduced this agencies <u>because they were spreading </u><u><em>"misinformation."</em></u>

Explanation:

"Silent Spring" was a book that stirred the public's attention. It talks about the bad effects of using chemical pesticides to the environment. Many critics opposed the book, yet it was able to move the Congress. This resulted to the operation of the Environmental Protection Agency in <em>1970.</em>

<em>A law can be vetoed by the President in the executive branch, but it can be overridden by the legislative branch with enough votes. The legislative branch has the authority to confirm Presidential appointments, manage the budget, and impeach and remove the President from office. The Checks and Balances system is linked to the separation of powers in the United States. The Checks and Balances system gives each part of government its own authority to keep the other branches in check and prevent one branch from becoming too strong. The president appoints federal officials, but the Senate must approve them. Within the legislative branch, each house of Congress acts as a check on the other's potential abuses of power. To become law, a measure must be passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate in the same form.</em>
