Which chamber of Congress has staggered terms?

1 answer:

5 0

The United States Congress has two chambers: the House of Representatives (ften referred to simply as "the House") and the Senate. The House does not have staggered terms: every single member of the House of Representatives is elected to a two-year term, and all of the seats in the House are voted on at the same time.

The Senate, however, does have staggered terms. Senators are elected to six-year terms, but only a third of the seats in the Senate are up for election in a given election year. Federal election years are held on even years (2010, 2012, 2014, etc.), and on any given year only about a third of Senators will face reelection. This framers of the Constitution designed the Senate this way to make sure there was some continuity from one Congress to the next.

Do you think a developed country has a bigger or smaller footprint than a developing country? Explain your reasoning.

Levart [38]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

I think that a developed country has a bigger footprint than a developing country regarding modern society acknowledgments or advancements in economy, politics, or technology.

However, in culture, values, and traditions, many developing countries have an impressive array of ancestral or prehispanic heritage, full of traditions and culture that is still lived in today's society.

This scenario can be best shown in the cultures of India, Central America, and South America, where the people still have a direct influence on the culture and customs of their ancestors.
