Legislative oversight

History
1 answer:
Dennis_Churaev [7]4 years ago
7 0

The correct answer is D.

Legislative or Congressional oversight refers to the surveillance performed by the US Congress on the Executive power (government) and all the agencies that conform it. Such surveillance is generally conducted by the  Congress comitees and it includes the review and monitoring of programs,  and policy implementations.

<u>This Congressional power is a mechanism embodied within the System of Checks and Balances. </u>The System of Checks and Balances is designed to preserve the division of powers between the three branches: legislative (Congress), executive (Government) and judiciary (courts system), so that none of them gathers enough power to overrule the others. With this aim, each of the branches is granted powers (expressed or implicit) to supervise the other two.

fgiga [73]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although you did not include the options, we can comment on the following.

The Puritans were also known as church reformers because although they did not agree with the Anglican Church they did not want to break away from it. They simply wanted to purify it.

The case with the Puritans was complex, they wanted to follow their strict religious rules with liberty, but their original intention was no to completely separate from the Church of England. What Puritans purposed was to include reformations to change the Church of England. But things got complicated and the King of England threatened to persecute Puritans if they did not obey the church. That is why Puritans opted to travel to North America and founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630.
