Answer:
D. Filing for a discharge petition
Explanation:
The best course of action for the congressman to take is 'the filing for a discharge petition'.
Normally, when a bill is introduced by a member of the House of Representatives, the speaker sends the bill to the relevant committee who then deliberate on it, seek expert advice etc. After the deliberations, the bill is then sent to the house for debate and possible voting for onward movement to the senate if passed by the majority.
In the event that the bill is stalled in the committee, the sponsor can file for a discharge petition. A discharge petition involves bringing out a bill from the committee that has spent at least thirty (30) days, without waiting for a report from the committee. To successfully file for a discharge petition, the sponsor must garner at least two hundred and eighteen votes (218) votes which is a clear majority.
According to brutus, A confederation of small republics is more likely to preserve and protect personal liberties, because as the people are the sovereign, and their sentiments are communicated by themselves which is why it must be limited so that the people can conveniently assemble and debate.
- The large republics could cancel out the voices of the people and states and the authority of the states, because they are bigger in size and could gain more power and could infringe on state sovereignty, which would infringe on the peoples' liberties
Brutus favors a true confederation, which would be: a number of independent states entering , for conducting certain general concerns, in which they have a common interest, leaving the management of their internal and local affairs to go and their separate governments.
