Answer:

House of Representatives:

Speaker of the House- Presiding officer for the House of Representatives and leader of the majority party in the House

Decides which members get to speak first in proceedings

Appoints the members to congressional committees

Schedules bills for action

House Majority Leader- Top assistant for the Speaker

Comes from the majority party of the House

Helps to plan legislative agenda

Coordinates with chairpersons of committees

House Majority Whip- Assistant for the majority leader

Mostly responsible for speaking with members to see how they are voting on bills

House Minority Leader and Whip - Comes from the minority party of the House

Same responsibilities as the majority leader and whip

SENATE

Vice President- is the President of the Senate

Cannot take part in Senate debate and can only vote to break a tie

Because this is all the Constitution allows the VP to do, unofficially VPs have been given more responsibilities by the president

If there is a presidential tie in the next election, they break it.

President Pro Tempore- Presides over the Senate when the Vice President is not available

Elected from the majority party

More of an honorary position, typically the longest serving member of the party

Senate Majority Leader- Organizes the schedule of bills through the Senate

Rallies support from the majority party for bills

Senate Minority Leader- Keeps the minority party united in support or opposition to a bill

Senate Majority and Minority Whips- Assistant to the leaders in the same manner as the House

In honor of rosa parks' contribution to the civil rights movement, the seat behind the driver on buses in major cities was reser

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

After people were asked not to sit in the seat behind the drivers in honor of Rosa Parks' fight for the Civil Rights movement, some people did actually sit in that seat. Making the assumption that these people were prejudiced or racist is an example of the correspondence bias.

Explanation:

On December 1st, 1955, Rosa Parks was commuting back home by bus, when the driver asked her and three other African Americans to stand up from their seats so that white passengers could seat there. While the three other passengers complied with the driver's order, Rosa Parks denied to do so, which ended up with her arrest, and later on with a social movement that decided to boycott the buses in Montgomery during Rosa Parks' trial. Although most of the people decided to leave the first seat behind the driver empty in honor of Rosa Parks, some of them actually seat on it anyways. Assuming that these people were racists is an example of a correspondence bias. A correspondence bias is the tendency to draw inferences about a person's personality based on a unique and specific observed behavior. There are many circumstances and reasons as to why that people sat on the seat that was meant to be empty that would not make them instantly perceived as racist or prejudiced, but assuming that they are based on that one action would be an example of a correspondence bias.
