Answer:

 Article one, section 2 clause 3 is what you are looking for. This section of the constitution outlines the way in which members of the house of representatives shall be apportioned. The constitution mandates that every 10 years every citizen be counted. This is were the census comes in. The census determines the population of the states and thereby the number of representatives that state receives in the house. The constitution does not specifically identify how many citizens count as one seat in the house but rather lays out the restriction that no state shall have more than one member for every 30,000 citizens. Currently the ration is approximately 1 representative for every 700,000 citizens. Also, every state shall have at least one seat in the house, regardless of that states population.  

Each state then takes the census figures and determines how the state will be divided to denote each house seats area of representation. This is different from state to state but most leave it up to the states legislature to determine how the districts shall be divided. This at times can lead to politically charged situations in which one party will try to extend the borders of a favorable district into one that is controlled by the opposing party in order to make it difficult for their opponents to get reelected. This is known as gerrymandering.

Answer:

Extraversion

Explanation:

The Five-Factor Model of personality is a model of the structure of personality according to which human personality can be described using five broad dimensions: Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness.

The main characteristics of the dimensions are:

  • Extraversion: Outgoing, socially confident behavior. Extroverts are <u>sociable, talkative and enjoy being the center of attention.</u> Introverts are more quiet and prefer to be on their own.
  • Agreeableness: Individuals who score highly on agreeableness are friendly and co-operative, they are trusting of others and are more altruistic and sympathetic. People who score low on this dimension are less concerned with pleasing other people or making friends, they tend to be more suspicious and are less charitable, they are also competitive and stubborn.
  • Conscientiousness: People who are conscientious are more aware of their actions and the consequences of their behavior than people who are unconscientious. They feel a sense of responsibility towards other people and are careful with their duties, they will be concerned about tidiness, punctuality and hard work.  People who score low on this dimension are less careful and are less concerned about tidiness and punctuality.
  • Neuroticism: People with high neuroticism are persistent worriers. They are fearful and often feel anxious, over-thinking their problems focusing on the negative aspects of them. They tend to become frustrated and angry if things don't go as they wish.  People who score low are less preoccupied and are able to remain more calm under stressful situations.
  • Openness: Willingness to try new activities. People with higher levels of openness enjoy artistic and cultural experiences and are more open to unfamiliar cultures and customs, they are imaginative.  People with low levels of openness are wary of uncertainty and the unknown and feel uncomfortable in unfamiliar situations and prefer familiar environments.

In this example, we can see that Liz is very friendly and she invites friends over for parties every weekend that she is free and she's also involved in other social activities. We can see that <u>Liz is friendly, sociable and likes being the center of attention</u>. Thus, this aspect of Liz'z personality is best described as extraversion.
