Answer:
<u>Proposals for an amendment to the Constitution can be made by Congress or by a National Convention</u>
Explanation:
According to Article V of the U.S. Constitution, the Constitution can be changed (By adding or eliminating an amendment) through 2 ways:
- Both the Senate and the House of the<u> U.S. Congress </u>can propose an amendment by at least two-thirds of votes in favor, and it later has to be voted on by the state legislatures OR the state conventions. If the amendment is approved by at least three-fourths of the state legislatures or the state convention, it becomes a law.
- The state legislatures can propose a <u>National Convention</u> with two-thirds of votes. In the National Convention, the amendment can be officially proposed. Once it is proposed, it has to be ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures (or conventions in three-fourths of the states) to become law.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The effects of specific drugs on driving skills differ depending on how they act in the brain. For example, marijuana can slow reaction time, impair judgment of time and distance, and decrease coordination. Drivers who have used cocaine or methamphetamine can be aggressive and reckless when driving. Certain kinds of prescription medicines, including benzodiazepines and opioids, can cause drowsiness, dizziness, and impair cognitive functioning (thinking and judgment). All of these effects can lead to vehicle crashes.
Research studies have shown negative effects of marijuana on drivers, including an increase in lane weaving, poor reaction time, and altered attention to the road. Use of alcohol with marijuana makes drivers more impaired, causing even more lane weaving.1–3 Some studies report that opioids can cause drowsiness and impair thinking and judgment.4,5 Other studies have found that being under the influence opioids while driving can double your risk of having a crash.6
It is difficult to determine how specific drugs affect driving because people tend to mix various substances, including alcohol. But we do know that even small amounts of some drugs can have a measurable effect. As a result, some states have zero-tolerance laws for drugged driving. This means a person can face charges for driving under the influence (DUI) if there is any amount of drug in the blood or urine. Many states are waiting to develop laws until research can better define blood levels that indicate impairment, such as those they use with alcohol.
I believe the answer is: Known-groups paradigm
A study is considered to have Known-groups paradigm if the researchers understand that the measure that they take will discriminate a certain groujp of subjects because of their known behavior.
From the case above Dr. Sheffield create a test to determine whether the subject unable to resist impulses to gamble.
The subjects that he use is <u>a group of ex-gamblers</u> who acknowledge they have a gambling problem (gamblers anonymous) and a group of ex-alcoholic who acknowledge they have drinking problem (AA). We can say with high certainty that dr. Sheffield <u>knew really well that people on GA will have higher scores.</u> He just want to how big is the difference compared to the scores from AA group.
Using coal/other natural resources to generate electricity, burning fossil fuels, dumping trash in landfills, using chemical fertilizers that seep into water sources....the list goes on
