Answer:

A Direct Democracy allows for the people to vote on government issues as opposed to the less direct system where we elect representatives to do the legislating and law making for us in a representative democracy.

Explanation:

If the US were a Direct Democracy, you would essentially be cutting out the checks and balances of the legislative branch. The judicial branch and executive branch may have control still but in this instance, I believe that the people would replace the legislative branch having a direct vote and say in every issue that arises at the national level.

A Representative Democracy/Constitutional Republic like we have in the US allows for the people to vote representatives based on ethics, beliefs, or even simply political party affiliation for offices like senators and presidents.

These elected officials then carry out governing us- the population- by acting within the laws of the land which are already established and legislate to introduce new laws, bills, and ammendments to the constitution as the need arises.

Hmm, tricky because if you use a car made of diamonds and drive into a wall @ 400 mph then the car is fine but the wall is destroyed, but if you drive a car made of iron into a wall  made of diamond @ 400 mph the crashes but the wall is fine... now if you drove 400 mph of diamond at an iron wall there are no survivors, but if you drive 400 mph of wall at ipm (iron per minute) a small state  detaches from south america floating into the coast. buut in another research  a car made of walls going 400 mph into a single diamond disrupting the universe causing a planet to collide with ours, leaving 5 survivors...

Which of the following is not a method for introducing a bill in congress?
Katyanochek1 [597]

A bill is a an idea that can come from any person but that unlike other forms of legislation like joint resolutions they are proposed to affect not the general public or the legislation at large, but rather resolve issues in specific cases. A bill can be private, in which instance it only affects an organization or a person in particular, or it can be a general bill, which affects the public at large. A bill can, as said before, be proposed by anyone. However, in order for it to be processed, it must be sponsored by a member of Congress, be it a Senator or House Representative and the House must be in session. Bills can be introduced either at the House or Senate by the sponsor(s). If it happens at the House, the bill is placed into a box known as the hopper on the Speaker´s platform. If it is otherwise introduced in the Senate, it must be either placed on the desk of the presiding officer or it must be formally introduced on the Senate´s  Floor. This is why the only thing that never happens when introducing a bill in Congress is that the president may make an announcement in a press conference. Correct answer is therefore D.
