History

The answer <u>is their party has more members. </u>

The U.S. Congress consists of the Senate and the House of Representatives, in which the leaders of the majority party assume a very important position in influencing the decisions of the party. The majority of leaders are powerful as their party has the maximum number of members, thereby achieving the numerical strength that is required to influence a majority of decisions on the floor.  

Further Explanation:

The majority of leaders not only command a significant influence on the floor of the House or the Senate, but they also influence the political decisions and ideologies within the party. Majority leaders are elected by the system of a secret ballot from amongst the members of the party themselves. It is necessary that the majority leader has significant resources to influence decisions on the floor of the house and ensure political homogeneity within his or her party.

The position of both the Senate majority leader and the House majority leaders differ, for example, since the Senate is more powerful, the majority leader of the Senate enjoys a greater position over that of the majority leader of the House, whose position is equivalent to that of the speaker. Usually, the Majority leader of the House is influential compared to the speaker, who regulates debates within the House, but refrains from expressing a concrete opinion. The Senate majority leader holds a more influential position as compared to that of the House, as he generates and represents his party’s opinions and presents them on the Senate floor. The Senate Majority leader is also entitled to represent his party in all joint Congress sessions when the Speaker and the Majority House leader positions are held by members of the opposition party.

The correct answer is A) their party has more members.  

<em>The Majority Leaders of the House of Representatives and the Senate are powerful because their party has more members.  </em>

The Majority Leaders serve as the spoke person of their party. The House of Representatives majority leader is the Chief Speaker for the majority party. His party holds most of the seats in Congress. This can help the majority part in passing bills. The Minority Leader is the floor leader of the party that holds the minority. The Speaker of the House is the most important member of Congress.

Explain why New England- where few slaveholders lived- was involved in a triangular trade that sold and transported millions of
34kurt
The triangular trading system was not only used to sell/buy slaves, many countries benefitted from other resources that were scarce in their lands. The thirteen colonies would trade fish, whale oil, lumber, tobacco, rum, iron products, flour and meat products and England and Europe would trade teas, spices, furniture, cloth, tools, iron products, etc. New England specifically would trade with the Caribbean for sugar (or molasses) and New England would distill it into rum. The profits from the sale of the sugar would be shipped to West Africa where the majority of slaves came from, and the slaves were sent to the Caribbean to work on sugar plantations.
