Answer:

The longest filibuster.

Explanation:

A filibuster is a political tactic where one or more members of the parliament discuss the matter of debate for a long time, to delay the final decision.

Senator Strom Thurmond holds the record, however, this tactic has been widely used in the past, as far as the roman empire. When the roman senator Cato the Younger was opposed to any legislation he would often delay the measures, by pronouncing a speech that lasted until nightfall.

As an interesting fact, despite senator Thurmond's fierce opposition, The Civil Rights Act of 1957 was still passed by the US Congress and was signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Answer:

The answer is source amnesia.

Explanation:

As the name suggests, a person with source amnesia forgets the source of information, even though the information itself is stored. In the example, Carmelita remembers what, but doesn't remember who and how.

The condition is believed to be the result of a disconnection between semantic memory (which stores solid facts) and episodic memory (which store experiences).

In what ways did the Longhouse come to stand as a symbol for the Iroquois people
dmitriy555 [2]
The Iroquois longhouse were built to house 20 or more families.

The Iroquois Indian tribe was actually a confederacy of six Native American nations.  It consisted of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora.  They were a very powerful and prominent Indian tribe.

They were called Iroquois by their neighbors (the Algonkian speaking people) and European settlers.  They actually called themselves Haudenosaunee, which meant “people who live in the extended longhouses.”  The Iroquois lived in a type of dwelling known as a longhouse.  A longhouse is a long, narrow single room that was built by Native American Indians, but also by those inhabiting Asia and Europe.  Many cultures regard the longhouse as the earliest form of a permanent structure.  While the longhouse may have reached lengths of 100 meters, they were generally never wider than 5 to 7 meters. 

The Iroquois longhouses had doors on both ends.  They were usually covered with animal skins during the winters to keep some of the cold air out.  Each Iroquois longhouse was designed so as many as twenty families or more could live in it.  A family would occupy a booth on either side of the hallway.  The booth had a wooden platform for sleeping.



To build the Iroquois longhouse, the Indians set poles in the ground.  Horizontal poles supported those poles.  By bending a series of poles, the Iroquois were able to create an arc shaped roof for the longhouse.  The frame of the Iroquois longhouse was made by sewing bark and using that as shingles.  



Iroquois longhouses had no windows, just the doors at each end.  Missionaries wrote about how dark the inside of the houses were.  The only other openings in the house were at the ceiling.  There were holes there to allow the fire pit smoke to escape, but those holes provided very little natural light.  The fire pits were located in the hallway and shared by the families.
