<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.
Answer:
Other Populist-endorsed measures included bimetallism, a graduated income tax, direct election of Senators, a shorter workweek, and the establishment of a postal savings system. These measures were collectively designed to curb the influence of corporate and financial interests and empower small farmers and laborers.
C. states needed to be given more control
Answer:
The greatest technological development of this time was irrigation. Originally the Mesopotamia’s’ believed their sole purpose was to serve the gods and provide them with luxuries such as fine clothes and lodging. Their communities consisted of 35 politically equal cites with religious sanctuaries. All cities were known as spiritual and economic. Social hierarchies began to grow, separating the privileged, and the less privileged. The Sumerians and the Akkadians believed in a group of gods that controlled everything including their political institutions. Each major god of the Sumerian pantheon lives in a luxury temple in the part of the city that he/she created, thus bettering each cities character and relationships with its neighbors. Royal palaces also revealed the power of
the elite, being the official home of the ruler and his family. Social hierarches were very important in Sumerian city-states. Ruling groups had access to economic and political resources. The kings/ priests were at the top of the list, then bureaucrats, followed by supervisors and craft workers, and traders. Movement among classes was very rare. Mesopotamia was the first to develop a complex writing system. They were the first record keepers and readers. This gave rise to written narratives. Due to rising populations,there was a lot of competition among these societies that often led to violence. The Chinese culture took a little longer to urbanize, although they eventually got there, they had some troubles in the beginning. Their animals for instance weren’t very domesticated, and deserts made it harder to migrate
