The House and the Senate are the two houses of congress. They have fairly similar levels of power, in that they both have to pass a bill in order for it to become law (which is the chief power of congress).  The difference between them is that Representatives are based on population, each one intended to represent a specific group of citizens.  Originally, the plan was to have a Representative for every 30,000 Americans, but the population grew too big for that, so we've capped the number of Representatives at 435.  In any case, each state is divided into congressional districts, and your congressperson is supposed to represent you in the Federal government. They're the one you're supposed to go to if you have a problem with how the country is being run.

The Senate, on the other hand, is supposed to represent the interests of the states.  Each state gets two senators (no matter how big or small they are).  Originally, they were appointed by the state legislatures, but all states have gone over to voting for Senators directly.

<u><em>Advantages:</em></u>(1)1. It would bring new ideas to the table.2. It may encourage people to vote.3. It would stop political power maneuvering.4. It would limit the influence of lobbying.5. It allows for newly elected officials to have influence.6. It could limit the potential for corruption.

<u><em>Disadvantages</em></u>: 1. Good leaders would be forced to retire.2. It changes the learning curve.3. Networking benefits would be lost.4. It could create rogue politicians.

Rubber is coagulated sap; the French word for it, Cãoutchouc, comes from a South American Indian word meaning "the wood that weeps." The wood that weeps in the Congo was a long spongy vine of the Landolphia genus.

the crucial fighting in europe took place between germany and the soviet union, including the german siege of stalingrad. select
Sedbober [7]

Stalingrad is now called Volgograd, a city located in southwestern Russia on the Volga River.

<h3>What is Volgograd?</h3>

Volgograd, formerly Tsaritsyn and Stalingrad, is a city and administrative center of Volgogradoblast, southwestern Russia.

In 1589, Volgograd was founded as the fortress of Tsaritsyn to protect newly acquired Russian territory along the Volga. Joseph Stalin organized the defense of the city in a major battle against the White Russian armies during the Russian Civil War, and the city was later renamed in his honor.

From August 1942 to February 1943, one of the decisive battles of World War II took place there. The German armies, at the limit of their advance, attempted to capture Stalingrad after bitter fighting during which the city was reduced to rubble, an army group of some 300,000 men was annihilated, and the German salient was cut off.

Why is their a government?
ikadub [295]

Government is known to be a the system or group of people governing an organized community, often a state. Without government our lives would most likely be in complete chaos. Government provides us rules and organization which ultimately helps us as citizens. Although different types of governments have different standards, they all have a certain way on how society should function making it easier on all of us. Hope this helped :))
