Answer:

Gridlock is also called political stalemate, it is a situation when  there is difficulty in passing a laws if it doesn't satisfy the needs of the people.

Grid lock occurs due to the filibuster rule, according to it there must be a super majority of 60 senators to bring a bill to the Senate floor. It happens when the control of both houses of presidency and Congress is split between rival parties.

It prevents the government from enforcing arbitrary laws, US was founded by rebelling against the tyrannical rule of British Crown. The framers wanted a provision to prevent government from becoming tyrannical. Gridlock enforces the concept of limited government and protects the individual rights and liberties from government encroachment by passing arbitrary laws.

Christianity and colonialism are often closely associated because Catholicism and Protestantism were the religions of the European colonial powers[1] and acted in many ways as the "religious arm" of those powers.[2] According to Edward Andrews, Christian missionaries were initially portrayed as "visible saints, exemplars of ideal piety in a sea of persistent savagery". However, by the time the colonial era drew to a close in the last half of the twentieth century, missionaries became viewed as "ideological shock troops for colonial invasion whose zealotry blinded them",[3] colonialism's "agent, scribe and moral alibi."
