The correct answer is D.
Legislative or Congressional oversight refers to the surveillance performed by the US Congress on the Executive power (government) and all the agencies that conform it. Such surveillance is generally conducted by the Congress comitees and it includes the review and monitoring of programs, and policy implementations.
<u>This Congressional power is a mechanism embodied within the System of Checks and Balances. </u>The System of Checks and Balances is designed to preserve the division of powers between the three branches: legislative (Congress), executive (Government) and judiciary (courts system), so that none of them gathers enough power to overrule the others. With this aim, each of the branches is granted powers (expressed or implicit) to supervise the other two.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Half of all occupied messuages of 1340's became unoccupied tofts by end of 100 years (Dyer, 1994) . This resulted in free availability of land post-plague; thus giving already-propertied families a major opportunity to increase their assets. For example, many peasant land-accumulators were raised up into a new yeomanry following their exploitation of land surpluses following the Black Death. There were other signs of peasants improving their position in society through easier accessibility of land and resources. For example, when labour and expense of running manors became too much for the canons of Leicester; richer peasants had skill and resources to take over. Through the plague diminishing the rent received by the canons and their labour forces, these peasants were able to improve their living conditions, gaining manors as opposed to their smaller homes before (Platt, 1978) .
The United States became an empire in 1898 when we annexed Hawai’i and the Spanish overseas empire. When we annexed Alaska, as a non-contiguous territory, we were on the way to empire. When we annexed distant tropical islands we were there. Over the next decades we created Panama and annexed part of it, we occupied Nicaragua, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and we intervened in Mexico, China, and Russia. After WWII we adopted neo-imperial, indirect methods and engaged in horribly bloody, proxy wars with the Soviets. Since the end of the Cold War, we have returned to more direct interventions. But, because these do not involve direct annexation of foreign territories, they are not truly imperial. They need a prefix, neo-, semi-, post-, or something else.

Henry David Thoreau was a philosopher, writer, and leading transcendentalist (Transcendentalism is a philosophy that developed in New England around 1836).
