History
1 answer:
eduard4 years ago
3 0

Answer and Explanation:

The Founding Fathers of American democracy had to limit the number of years a legislator could serve in congress so as to prevent corruption, and avoid dictatorship and abuse of power. It was perceived that if the term of years legislators was not limited, and rotation in office  promoted, the legislators, if bad, would continue to make bad laws for the Country and there would not be a way out of the legislative deficit that may ensue in such case. It was also believed that if the term of years of legislators is unrestricted, it could breed legislators who are selfish, callous and inattentive to the public good.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. So I dropped on my hands and knees in the little passage, and crept aft in the d
ipn [44]

By reading the passage we can figure out that the word "betwixt" means something similar to "between". We can infer this because the author tells us that he was on a passage, in a passage you can move only forward or backward. The author began to "crept aft", meaning he moved to the back of the boat, so he moved trough the passage. Then he says "till there warn't but one stateroom betwixt me and the cross-hall of the texas." Here we can see that he wants to go somewhere, or that there is an end to the passage, the end is "the cross-hall". So the narrator is in Place A., the "cross-hall" place C., and in between them is "one stateroom".
