A) Overriding a presidential reversal or veto.

The Congress' right to override a presidential reversal or veto, is part of the system of checks and balances established in the U.S Constitution.

In the United States, once a version of a bill is passed in Congress, by a majority of the vote, the bill goes to the President who decides whether to sign it into law or reject it, that is to say, use the veto.

If the President uses his power to veto the bill, the Congress can override that presidential reversal by 2/3 vote of both houses of the Congress.

After world war 2 the united states experienced an economic boom which did not contribute to that boom

irga5000 [103]

Economic boom refers to the expansion and peak phase of a business cycle. Economic activities increases in the sectors of gross domestic product, productivity and income. The post World war II economic expansion, the long boom, and the Golden Age of capitalism, was a period of strong economic growth beginning after the second world war and ending with the recession of 1973 - 1975. In this case, the Taft-Hartely act did not contribute to the economic boom. Taft Hartley act was a federal law that restricted the activities and powers of labor unions.

Describe the miraculous convergence that occurred at yorktown

Miraculous Convergence & Yorktown

"The first necessity [of the Yorktown campaign] was to arrange the meeting of French naval and American land forces on the Virginia coast at a specified time and place. The junction in Virginia had to be coordinated by two different national commands separated across an ocean without benefit of telephone, telegraph or wireless. That this was carried out without a fault seems accountable only by a series of miracles."

— Scholar Barbara Tuchman in "The First Salute"
Moving an army in 18th century America was no easy task. Bridges were nearly non-existent; roads were trails; forage was always inadequate to the needs of thousands of men and animals.

On August 14, 1781, Washington and the French general Rochambeau received word from Comte de Grasse, the admiral of the French fleet, that he would be arriving off the coast of Virginia in mid-September. De Grasse would remain in the Chesapeake area for a month, until the expected seasonal heavy weather forced him south again.

Here was an opportunity to trap Cornwallis in Virginia, but to do so meant that not one, but two armies---one speaking English, one French---would have to travel 500 miles over local roads in a coordinated assault with a navy that was, at the time de Grasse's letter arrived, sailing somewhere in the Atlantic.

To further complicate matters, the American and French armies would have to leave their encampments in New York in the face of the large British army stationed there. If a whiff of their intentions wafted toward British lines, the British would certainly engage the allied armies.

In a paragraph, explain three ways the Protestant and Catholic reformations affected European cultural and political life.

skad [1K]

Answer:

Encouraged independent nation status. Political power left churches.

Explanation:

In art history, the 16th century sees the styles we call the High Renaissance followed by Mannerism, and—at the end of the century—the emergence of the Baroque style. Naturally, these styles are all shaped by historical forces, the most significant being the Protestant Reformation’s successful challenge to the spiritual and political power of the Church in Rome. For the history of art this has particular significance since the use (and abuse) of images was the topic of debate. In fact, many images were attacked and destroyed during this period, a phenomenon called iconoclasm.

Today there are many types of Protestant Churches. For example, Baptist is currently the largest denomination in the United States but there are many dozens more. How did this happen? Where did they all begin? To understand the Protestant Reform movement, we need to go back in history to the early 16th century when there was only one church in Western Europe - what we would now call the Roman Catholic Church - under the leadership of the Pope in Rome. Today, we call this "Roman Catholic" because there are so many other types of churches (ie Methodist, Baptist, Lutheran, Calvinist, Anglican - you get the idea).

So, if we go back to the year 1500, the Church (what we now call the Roman Catholic Church) was very powerful (politically and spiritually) in Western Europe (and in fact ruled over significant territory in Italy called the Papal States). But there were other political forces at work too. There was the Holy Roman Empire (largely made up of German speaking regions ruled by princes, dukes and electors), the Italian city-states, England, as well as the increasingly unified nation states of France and Spain (among others). The power of the rulers of these areas had increased in the previous century and many were anxious to take the opportunity offered by the Reformation to weaken the power of the papacy (the office of the Pope) and increase their own power in relation to the Church in Rome and other rulers.

Keep in mind too, that for some time the Church had been seen as an institution plagued by internal power struggles (at one point in the late 1300s and 1400s church was ruled by three Popes simultaneously). Popes and Cardinals often lived more like kings than spiritual leaders. Popes claimed temporal (political) as well as spiritual power. They commanded armies, made political alliances and enemies, and, sometimes, even waged war. Simony (the selling of Church offices) and nepotism (favoritism based on family relationships) were rampant. Clearly, if the Pope was concentrating on these worldly issues, there wasn't as much time left for caring for the souls of the faithful. The corruption of the Church was well known, and several attempts had been made to reform the Church (notably by John Wyclif and Jan Hus), but none of these efforts successfully challenged Church practice until Martin Luther's actions in the early 1500s.

Congressional grants paid for ____________ percent of the development of an interstate highway after world war ii. question 20 o

GarryVolchara [31]

You might think it too high to say 90% ... but it really was 90% of funding for the Interstate Highway system that was provided by Congressional funding. This was a huge program signed into law during the presidency of Dwight Eisenhower. It was considered essential to the national interest. The Federal-Aid Highway Act passed in 1956 allocated $26 billion (in 1956 dollars!) to this monumental road-building effort.
