1 answer:

7 0

Jefferson thought that the distribution of power among federal, state, county, and local agencies was vital to America’s “system of fundamental balances and checks for the government.” The Senate is still based on equal representation and the House still based on population.
The problem in government today is special interest groups (factions) who continuously lobby our elected officials. Politicians listen to these groups because they are the same people who donate money to campaign funds and other interests of politicians. These are the people who have the power.
Thomas Jefferson spoke against a strong federal government and instead advocated states’ rights. The Founding Fathers viewed "factions" as dangerous to the public interest; which is the main problem today in American government.

2 Points<br> Which scenario describes an example of continuity over time?

gogolik [260]

Answer:

Latin is where we can find the etymological origin of the word continuity that we will now proceed to analyze. It emanates from “continuitas”, which can be translated as “quality of not being interrupted” and which is composed of the following parts:

• The prefix "con-", which is equivalent to "together".

• The verb "tenere", which is synonymous with "retain" or "dominate."

• The suffix “-uo”, which is used to indicate relationship.
