Party Whips in Congress are groups that assist the floor leaders of the party they belong to, that make sure that their floor leaders (or legislators) attend voting sessions and that impose discipline and direction to them in order to secure enough votes on measures that are congruent with the party's platform. This way, party whips guarantee that legislators do not vote according to their ideologies, but according to the party's ideology.

Therefore, Party Whips influence legislation by mobilizing votes within their parties on any legislation and by ensuring that legislators vote according to the party's desired measures.

Which of the following best shows Ireland's slow economic recovery from the 2008 recession?
Sav [38]

Answer: Choice D) Its high unemployment rate

==========================================================

Explanation:

Ideally you should do external research to get the answer, but luckily we can eliminate non-answers to narrow things down.

  • Choice A is false because having a skilled labor force and foreign investments means that the country is diversified to withstand an economic storm. Sure there is still likely a recession, but recovery would be fairly quick if choice A was the case.
  • Choice B is a similar idea. Having modern industrial policies means the workforce is agile and flexible, and in turn there's low unemployment. Ideally the environment would be an issue as well. This is why we can rule out choice B.
  • Choice C can be ruled out because a high GDP is the opposite of what it means to have a slow recovery. High GDP means the country is producing a lot of goods and services, and the standard of living is expected to be high. In short, the recovery is either strong or already over when high GDP occurs.

In summary: Choices A, B, and C can be eliminated.

The only thing left is choice D. Having high unemployment is one factor that leads to slow recovery. This makes sense because people without a job aren't able to contribute to the economic output of a country.

What was the purpose of president john f. kennedys flexible response defense policy?
drek231 [11]

The Flexible response was a policy implemented by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 in order to substitute the New Look and the massive retaliation policy that Dwight Eisenhower's had introduced, which consisted on responding using a greater force in case of an attack, and such force involved nuclear weapons.  

On the other hand, the flexible response policy aknowledges the Mutual assured destruction if nuclear weapons are involved, as the enemy with shoot back too. It aimed to provide a manner of responding to agression across the spectrum of war but without the employment of nuclear weapons.
