"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. However, this rarely happens." According to the passage, what is the purpose of using a "conference committee" in the legislative process? A) Conference committees permit the governor to exercise control over the legislative branch. B) Conference committees are only utilized in extreme situations like war or natural disasters. C) Conference committees are necessary to reconcile differences between the House and Senate regarding bills. D) Conference committees are always the last resort that the House and Senate use to come to a consensus regarding a bill.

What actions led to the Growth of Aztec Culture? 15 points PLEASE HELP
Law Incorporation [45]

The Aztecs were a Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican people of central Mexico in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries. They called themselves Mexica. The Republic of Mexico and its capital, Mexico City, derive their names from the word "Mexica".


The capital of the Aztec empire was Tenochtitlan, built on raised island in Lake Texcoco. Mexico City is built on the ruins of Tenochtitlan. The Spanish colonization of the Americas reached the mainland during the reign of Huey Tlatoani , Moctezuma II (Montezuma II). In 1521 Hernan Cortes and an allied army of American Indians that far outnumbered the defending Aztecs, conquered the Aztecs through germ warfare, siege warfare, psychological warfare, and direct combat.


According to their own history, when the Mexicas arrived in the Anahuac valley (Valley of Mexico) around Lake Texcoco, the groups living there considered them uncivilized. The Mexicas borrowed much of their culture from the ancient Toltec whom they seem to have at least partially confused with the more ancient civilization of Teotihuacan. To the Mexicas, the Toltecs were the originators of all culture; "Toltecayotl" was a synonym for culture. Mexica legends identify the Toltecs and the cult of Quetzalcoatl with the mythical city of Tollan, which they also identified with the more ancient Teotihuacan.


The center of the Aztec civilization was the Valley of Mexico, a huge, oval basin about 7,500 feet above sea level. The Aztec empire included many cities and towns, especially in the Valley of Mexico. The largest city in the empire was the capital, Tenochtitlan.

Explain the major ideas of Confucius.
laila [671]

Answer:

The worldly concern of Confucianism rests upon the belief that human beings are fundamentally good, and teachable, improvable, and perfectible through personal and communal endeavor, especially self-cultivation and self-creation. Confucian thought focuses on the cultivation of virtue in a morally organised world. The 3 major teachings include jen, or “humaneness;” i, or “righteousness;” li, or “propriety/ritual;” and hsing, or “human nature.” Hsiao, or “filial piety,” is also a vital concept, one that is central for young people growing up in the Confucian tradition.
