"For a bill to become a law it must be passed by both houses in precisely the same words and figures. The second house frequentl
y amends and then returns the bill to the house of origin. In the case of significant bills, with substantial differences, the shortcut of a conference committee likely will be taken almost immediately. A conference committee is composed of 3 members from the Senate and 3 members from the House of Representatives. As a separate committee, they vote separately, not only on the final product but on any subsidiary questions put to a vote. This suggests a give-and-take process because if a majority of the conferees from either house refuses to budge, the conference would be stalemated and the bill could fail.

The Puritans chose to make a province in America where they could hone their religion. This was not a province where the opportunity of religion existed. It was one where Puritanism would turn into the State religion. All pioneers would be required to take after its religious standards. Guidelines were fairly strict.
They held constitutional conventions because they could never agree on anything for the betterment of the U.S., so they had to all have at least 9 votes per states and then get things done that way. otherwise there would be no Bill of Rights.
