The decisions of Congress are heavily influenced by the power of the president. One example would be the power of veto. Even if Congress passes a law in both the House of Representatives and Senate, it does not become a law until the president officially signs it. If the president vetoes (overrules) this law, then Congress must be able to override this veto with a 2/3 vote in both the Senate and House. With this in mind, Congress must ensure before passing the law that if it is vetoed that they would have the power to still make this law possible.
As commander in chief, the president has significant power of the military. Even though Congress needs to approve a declaration of war, they must consider what policies the president will implement once the country is at war.
Causes::::: American Imperialism, and Mexico's unstable gov't deterred them from being able to focus on the problem of the imposing Uncle Sam on their backyard. Effects::::: The Mexican-American War had many long-term effects. The first and most obvious is the vast territory Mexico was forced to give up to the United States, including the present-day states of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. California also became a state after the war, following the short-lived 'California Republic' which had been declared in Sonoma by American settlers in revolt against Mexico (their flag is now the California state flag). The leading American general of the war, Zachary Taylor, would later be elected the 12th President. However, the the most important event (at least in American history) that resulted was the American Civil War.

Answer: Was culturally unfair as the tests were normed and standardized using white children.
<em>Larry P. v. Riles</em> is a court case against the state of California regarding the fair evaluations of children that require special education services.
The argument was that the use of IQ tests to identify students that needed to be placed in special education classrooms disproportionately affected African American students. The tests were designed to evaluate white students, and therefore students from other ethnicities were at a disadvantage.
The court ruled that the tests did indeed contain cultural biases that benefitted white students and represented a type of discrimination.
