History

djverab [1.8K]3 years ago
7 0
Stephen Douglas won the Illinois Senate seat despite Abraham Lincoln won the popular vote because the Democrats won more seats in legislature and they re-elected Douglas. During 1858, Senate Elections results lie not on the hands of the people but on the state legislature. Hence, even if Lincoln got the most votes from people, Douglas still emerged as the winner.

According to the article, the site of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is important to which faiths? Check all that apply.
horrorfan [7]

The site of the temple mount in Jerusalem is important to Judaism and Islam faith. Thus the correct answer is B and C.

<h3>Why temple Mount is so important?</h3>

The temple mount is important because it is believed that the presence of God is identified over there. Judaism turns towards it when they pray because they believe it to be the location where God's presence manifested itself more than any other location.

Judaism considers the Temple Mount site to be holy because they believe Abraham offered up his own son, Isaac, there as a sacrifice.

Muslims respect the Temple Mount as well since it is the third-most significant Islamic holy site, behind Mecca and Medina. Abraham was ready to sacrifice his own son Ishmael according to the Quran.

Therefore, options B and C Judaism and Islam are the correct options.

Why is it easier to change the constitution than it is to pass a law
morpeh [17]
For the United States, it is not.

Article five of the United States Constitution.
"<span>The Congress, whenever </span>two thirds<span> of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose </span>Amendments<span> to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of </span>two thirds<span> of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of</span>three fourths<span> of the several States, or by Conventions in </span>three fourths<span> thereof, as the </span>one<span> or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year </span>One thousand eight hundred and eight<span> shall in any Manner affect the </span>first<span> and </span>fourth<span> Clauses in the </span>Ninth<span> Section of the </span>first<span> Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal </span>Suffrage<span> in the Senate."

This process has happened 26 times and once unconstitutionally (the 16th amendment) for a total of 27 amendments. 

To pass a law, there must be a 51% vote in both houses of Congress, and an approval by the president. Or Congress may override the veto by a two-thirds vote. This has been done well over 40,000 times in 2011 alone.
