A. Puns. For example, calling a pun "punny" would be a pun, as it is a play on the words "pun" and "funny".

The correct answer is A. PUN. A pun is a form of “word play” or a “play on words,” which suggest two or more meanings by using of words with multiple meanings, or words that sound similar. Though a pun is most often used for humor, it is also a standard literary device; the purpose of puns is to change the meaning of the sentence for humorous or rhetorical effect. No writer is better known for the use of puns than William Shakespeare, who is said to have used more than 3000 puns in his plays.  For example, the opening lines of Richard III read “Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this sun of York”. In this case, the sun of York is not precisely a comment of York’s weather but rather on Richard, son of the House of York.

Explain judicial RESTRAINT and the kinds of situations when it often comes into play
xenn [34]

Judicial restraint is a position that judges adopt when they purposely limit the exercise of their power. Judicial restraint judges make a cautious approach of their interpretation of laws, normally taking a very conservative position, instead of making decisions that could be considered as controversial. Judicial restraint is the opposite of judicial activism.

For example, a judicial restraint judge is in charge of sentencing a criminal for attempting to rob a bank. He or she revises previous cases and will probably make a sentence of similar proportions to the criminal, basing his or her decision on past sentences.

Why did president johnson clash politically with the radical republicans
Simora [160]

After the assassination of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865, Vice President Andrew Johnson became President. At first, he appeared to be a Radical however he clashed with them, involving himself in a bitter struggle with Radical Republicans.

<em>Some of the main reasons which caused the political conflict between the radical republicans and President Johnson were the Civil Rights Act</em>, which was the first United States federal law to define citizenship and affirm that all citizens are equally protected by the law, and <em>the four Reconstruction Acts</em>, through which it was required to the Southern States to be readmitted to the Union.

Since Republican Radicals had full control of Congress they were able to override 15 of the 21 bills passed by Congress which Johnson had vetoed, including the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and four Reconstruction Acts, described above.
