The correct answer is: Conditions in some towns indebted workers to trap them in the labor system.

The impact that company towns had on working conditions is that conditions in some towns indebted workers to trap them in the labor system. Employers developed company towns, where individual companies owned and built all the buildings and businesses like schools, churches, libraries, and other social amenities to encourage healthy communities and productive workers. Without external competition<em> </em>conditions such as housing costs and cost of groceries in the company, towns could sometimes became exorbitant, where workers built up massive debts which they were required to pay off before leaving thus trapping them in the labor system.<em> </em>The company towns often housed laborers in guarded areas, with an excuse of “protecting” laborers from unscrupulous travelling salesmen. In the South, free laborers and convict laborers were often housed in the same spaces and suffered equally terrible mistreatment.

<h3>Answer: D) Overriding a veto</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

When both houses of Congress agree on a law, they send the final bill to the President for it to be signed into law. If the President doesn't agree, then s/he has the option to veto the bill. After this point, the Congress has the option to override the veto if 2/3 of both houses agree to override.

This means that:

  • At least 67 Senators must agree to the override (note how 2/3 of 100 is 66.67 approximately, so 67 is the smallest number that clears this threshold)
  • At least 290 House of Representative members must agree to the override. This figure is due to (2/3)*435 = 290. There are currently 435 house members.

Both of those conditions listed above must be met for a veto override to occur. This is extremely difficult and rare considering the polarizing political climate. On things that nearly everyone agrees about, the President would likely not veto the bill (since the President is likely to agree with the Congress on such issues), and a veto override wouldn't even need to be considered.
