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.

What three things does Martin Luther King Jr. identify as the reasons for which the “Negro sit-inners” should be commended in hi
frozen [14]

Answer: I. their sublime courage

II. their willingness to suffer

III. their amazing discipline in the midst of great provocation

Explanation: A sit in is an organized non-violent protest demonstration in which participants seat themselves in a place and refuse to move. Martin Luther King Jr. and his fellow protesters were arrested and sent to jail for a sit in protesting segregation in Birmingham, Alabama. After reading an open letter from eight white clergymen in the local newspaper criticizing him and his fellow activists, he decided to write back to let them know what was on his mind.

The letter defends the strategy of nonviolent resistance to racism. It pointed out that people have a moral responsibility to break unjust laws and take direct action rather than waiting potentially forever for justice to come through the courts.

Furthermore, he wrote that he wished the protesters had been commended for the three reasons above and that despite provocation, the protests never turned violent.
