The strategy the Senate used to block the passage of the Civil Rights Act is called filibuster. The mentioned act was presented to Congress in 1963 but only became law in 1964 after Johnson's leadership, ending all king of discrimination regardless of race and gender in public places and private businesses. The civil rights bill passed the House in February 1964, but in the Senate, however, the bill became law on July 2.

Iit protects against any branch of the government trying to abuse its power. This way all powers are shared and equal. This goes even for the president, he alone cannot mandate orders. It takes approval of branches (judicial, legislative, executive) to get to a deal. :)

Correct answer is d. The Senate must ratify treaties with a 2/3 majority.

Explanation:

Only option D is correct, because according to Constitution senate is approving treaties signed by executive branch with at least two thirds of votes. The last rejected treaty was Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which didn't had 2/3 majority, as 61 senators vote for and 38 against it.
