There was a group of young european workers that came to America from early 17th to early 20th century. These inmigrants would get a contract to work for an american employer during a time period, usually between 1 to 7 years. They didn't get any wages for their work, the employer paid for their subsistance and their passage to the country, but that also meant that he could restrict some of their activities, they weren't completely free. After their contract expired, they were allowed to stay in the country and sometimes they would get a small parcel of land. They were called the Indentured servitude.
Norms provide order in society. ... Human beings need norms to guide and direct their behavior, to provide order and predictability in social relationships and to make sense of and understanding of each other's actions. These are some of the reasons why most people, most of the time, conform to social norms.
It is called congressional oversight.
<em>Congressional oversight</em> is the power to investigate and oversee the executive branch and it is usually carried out by the congressional committees.
Congressional oversight includes monitoring and supervising of federal agencies, programs, activities and policy implementation. In some cases, an investigation into an irregularity, a political scandal or into executive branch operations may be necessary.
This oversight authority derives from the implied powers in the Constitution and it is an integral part of the American system of checks and balances.
