Committees are essential to the effective operation of legislative bodies. Committee membership enables members to develop specialized knowledge of the matters under their jurisdiction. As "little legislatures," committees monitor on-going governmental operations, identify issues suitable for legislative review, gather and evaluate information; and recommend courses of action to their parent body.

The Senate currently operates 24 of these fact-finding, consensus-building, policy-recommending panels. Although many are almost as old as the Senate itself, senators periodically update their jurisdictions and resources to meet the evolving demands of modern American life.

The german use of __________ helped build public support for america's entry into world war i.
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:  submarine attacks

Context/detail:

Public outrage in the US against the Germans swept the nation following the sinking of the British ocean liner, Lusitania.  When a German U-boat (submarine) sank the Lusitania in May, 1915, over 1,000 persons were killed, including more than 100 Americans. The passenger liner was targeted by the Germans because they suspected weapons were being shipped to Britain in the cargo hold of the ship.

Germany managed to stave off American entry into the war at the time by pledging to stop submarine attacks.  But a couple years later they resumed such attacks, and there was also an intercepted telegram that showed Germany was trying to secure Mexico as an ally against the United States.  In 1917, the US declared war on Germany in response.

zhannawk [14.2K]

The correct answer is: "Saladin "

Al-Nāsir Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb (in Kurdish, Selahedînê Eyûbî, in Arabic, صلاح الدين يوسف بن أيوب), better known in the West as Saladin, Saladin, Salahadin or Saladine (1138, Tikrit (Iraq) - March 4 of 1193, Damascus), was one of the great rulers of the Islamic world, being sultan of Egypt and Syria and including in its domains Palestine, Mesopotamia, Yemen, Hijaz and Libya. With him began the Ayyubid dynasty, which would rule Egypt and Syria after his death.

Defender of Islam and particularly of the religious orthodoxy represented by Sunnism, politically and religiously unified the Middle East by fighting and leading the fight against the Crusader Christians and ending doctrines far from the official Muslim cult represented by the Abbasid Caliphate. He is particularly known for having defeated the Crusaders in the Battle of Hattin, after which he again occupied Jerusalem for the Muslims and took the Holy Land. The impact of this event in the West led to the Third Crusade led by Richard I of England, which became mythical for both Westerners and Muslims.

His fame transcended the temporal and became a symbol of medieval chivalry, even for his enemies. He is still a much admired figure in Arab, Kurdish and Muslim religion.
