The highest court of the New Mexico Judiciary is the New Mexico Supreme Court, composed of five judges. These judges are elected by the population of the State for terms of up to five years. The election for a judge is held annually for only one of five court positions. The second largest court in the state is the Court of Appeals of New Mexico, composed of seven judges elected for terms of up to eight years. As in the Supreme Court, these elections are held annually, for only one of the positions of the court. New Mexico has judicial districts, which have a total of 47 judges, elected by the population of their respective districts for terms of up to six years.

“The judicial branch consists of a supreme court, an appeals court, district courts, probate courts, magistrate courts, and other inferior courts as created by law.

The supreme court is composed of a chief justice and four associate justices; the appeals court, created to take over some of the supreme court's caseload, is composed of 10 judges. All are elected for eight-year terms.

The state's 33 counties are divided into 13 judicial districts, served by 72 district judges, each elected for a six-year term. District courts have unlimited general jurisdiction and are commonly referred to as trial courts. They also serve as courts of review for decisions of lower courts and administrative agencies. Each county has a probate court, served by a probate judge who is elected from within the county for a two-year term.

In 2001, New Mexico had a total crime rate of 5,324.0 per 100,000 persons, including a total of 14,288 violent crimes and 83,095 crimes against property in that year. In June 2001, there were 5,288 inmates held in state and federal correctional facilities, an increase of 0.2% over the previous year. The state's incarceration rate stood at 281 per 100,000 inhabitants.

New Mexico imposes the death penalty but has only executed one person since 1976. In 2003, there were three prisoners under sentence of death.”

What is the next step toward becoming a law after a bill is introduced in the Senate or the House of Representatives?
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

D. The bill is sent to a committee to review, research, and revise the bill

Explanation:

When a bill is introduced in either the Senate or the House of Representatives, the bill is read out loud to all the congressmen and then it is sent to the appropriate committee (there are different types of committees that deal with different areas) to review, research, revise, and sometimes to make changes to the bill. Then, the committee members decide whether to send the bill back to the house it originated so that it can be debated and voted on or to send the bill to a subcommittee for a more close examination before sending it back to the house.

Once in the chamber, congressmen discuss and debate the bill, make changes if necessary and then vote on the bill. If it gets enough votes, then it is sent to the other chamber which has to repeat the same proceeding. Lastly, if the bill is passed by both houses, then it is sent to the President for signature.

How did americans win independence in spite of britain's military advantages?​
ddd [48]
The Americans were able to win the war for independence for a number of reasons. First, the British found it difficult to destroy the American armies in the field and simultaneously occupy American cities. Second, they grossly overestimated the extent of loyalist support (or at least loyalist military support), particularly in the South. Third, the war was deeply unpopular at home from the outside, and the Americans always had sympathizers in Parliament who placed significant pressure on a series of ministers to win the war. Fourth, British generals, through incompetence, indecisiveness, and lack of strategic vision, often failed to press their advantages, most notably in the New York campaign of 1776, when Washington's entire army was there for the taking. Fifth, Washington's leadership should not be downplayed. As commander of the Continental Army, he managed to hold the force together, keeping it viable and battle-ready as he led the British through what he called a "war of posts." Basically, although he made many mistakes and never really won a major decisive victory, Washington avoided defeat, making the conflict far longer, messier, and more expensive than the British were willing to bear. Finally, French aid, including French military assistance, proved decisive after 1778, and it is very unlikely the Americans would have been able to achieve independence outright without it.
