Why would government observers complain that the filibuster allowed a minority to control the Senate

History
1 answer:
ioda3 years ago
7 0
Because from an outside prospective, a filibuster could virtually put the entire senate into a deadlock from a minority delaying or blocking a vote all together. This also means that in order to end a filibuster, you would require a “cloture vote” which is a super majority (67 out of the 100 senators) essentially taking power away from the majority.

What were the effects of urbanization on the working, middle, and elite classes of american society? conversely, how did the dif
Sliva [168]
<span>Urbanization improved the quality of life for the working, middle and elite classes. The citizens were given faster modes of travel and the inventions such as the telephone and electricity helped improve life at home and work and offered more ways to communicate with each other. Many more people moved to big cities due to more job opportunities, which were created due to more hours being available and companies incorporating new technology like electricity and assembly lines. This in turn increased the number of houses and buildings in cities. Agriculture became less important and industrial work became more important for the working class.</span>

What were the failures and victories of the Second Crusade?
Jlenok [28]

Answer: The Second Crusade was the second major crusade launched from Europe, called in 1145 in response to the fall of the County of Edessa the previous year. Edessa was the first of the Crusader states to have been founded during the First Crusade (1095–1099), and was the first to fall. The Second Crusade was announced by Pope Eugene III, and was the first of the crusades to be led by European kings, namely Louis VII of France and Conrad III of Germany, with help from a number of other important European nobles. The armies of the two kings marched separately across Europe and were somewhat hindered by Byzantine emperor Manuel I Comnenus; after crossing Byzantine territory into Anatolia, both armies were separately defeated by the Seljuk Turks. Louis and Conrad and the remnants of their armies reached Jerusalem and, in 1148, participated in an ill-advised attack on Damascus. The crusade in the east was a failure for the crusaders and a great victory for the Muslims. It would ultimately lead to the fall of Jerusalem and the Third Crusade at the end of the 12th century.

The only success came outside of the Mediterranean, where Flemish, Frisian, Norman, English, Scottish, and some German crusaders, on the way by ship to the Holy Land, fortuitously stopped and helped capture Lisbon in 1147. Meanwhile, in Eastern Europe, the first of the Northern Crusades began with the intent of forcibly converting pagan tribes to Christianity, and these crusades would go on for centuries.

What elements of life are important to herodotus do
kherson [118]

Also known as the "Father of History". While many men are credited with "shaping" the story, one can be said to have "created" it. Herodotus developed the means by which we in the Western world can know and evaluate history and its most important moments. Born in Halicarnassus, Asia Minor, he played an important role in the revolution against tyrant Lydames. He later moved to Athens, where he began to systematically write down the history of his own time - particularly the wars between Greece and Persia - and the facts that preceded it. Although previous events had already been recorded, Herodotus is considered the "Father of History" because he was the first man to attempt an orderly and objective study of the interrelationships between historical events. Herodotus traveled to Egypt and traveled the Mediterranean, studying the cultures of these regions and recording the facts as faithfully as possible for the time. In theorizing about history, he applied the traditional Greek idea of ​​moderation, or middle ground, that equilibrium is desirable, and excess and imbalance are the recipe for disaster. Because of this theory, the arrogant Xerxes I was inevitably doomed to defeat.
