The main power of the legislative branch is their ability to make laws. If bills pass  the House of Representatives and the Senate, all they need is a signature from the president so that it will be a legitimate law.

As far as debating bills in the different branches of the legislature, there are a few differences between the two. For example in the House of Representatives, there isn't anything such as an unlimited debate. The time used to debate a bill is limited. As for the Senate, members can in a way lay back and relax and stall and spend all the time in the world debating about a bill. The longest running debate was 48 hours long! This my friend is called a filibuster.

A difference in special powers between the House and Senate is their heavy affect on impeachment on high government officials(Such as the President of U.S.), they have the ability to push and throw out impeachment charges. However, it is the Senate that will hear the case and decide on whether the person will be removed from office or not.

The phrase Advice and Consents means that Under the Constitution, presidential nominations different posts take effect only when confirmed by the Senate. As well as with international treaties. The Senate must confirm it for it to become effective.

Which part of the country would see a drop in their personal income if<br> slavery was abolished? *
Elina [12.6K]

Answer: the south

Explanation:

When america was first founded, the south was used for resources on farms and plantations and the north was more industrialized, using factories and such to make different products. Due to the fact that plantations are very large plots of land and the south had a high demand for different resources such as cotton and rice, the owners needed help and so they used slaves to do their work. Being that slaves were treated like property, they were paid either very poorly or not at all so it ended up giving the land owners a huge profit. They make a lot of money from their products and they don't spend it on paying workers. Therefore, if slavery was abolished, the owners would not fulfill the demand of the people and they cannot work efficiently on the large plot of land by themselves, which would lead to a large drop in personal income.
