Answer:

In recent years, the filibuster has become a tactic regularly used by the minority party to block proposals of the majority party.

Explanation:

A filibuster is a very long debate that aims to prevent a proposal being passed, simply by preventing it from voting.

In 1957, Senator Strom Thurmond (at that time Democratic senator) set a length record with a speech of 24 hours and 18 minutes. He wanted to stop the proposed civil rights legislation. The proposal was nevertheless adopted.  

The last time there was a proper filibuster in the Senate was in 1988, and was about election campaign funding. Democrat Majority Leader Robert Byrd demanded that everyone be present, which led, among other things, to Republican Bob Packwood being physically dragged into the Senate chamber by police officers. The filibuster lasted two days before the Democrats gave up.  In the 2000s, 80% of major bills were stopped by "filibustering".

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

1. Bats and cats: <em>Homology</em>

2. Whales and sharks: <em>Analogy</em>

Explanation:

In Biology, homology refers to <u>the similarity of features from different species of organisms that share a common ancestor</u>. This is the opposite of analogy, which refers to <u>a feature that has a similar function but is not derived from a common ancestor</u>.

In this case, bats and cats have forelimbs adapted for locomotion. This is a case of homologous characters because they both are descendants of tetrapods - four-limbed animals. Therefore, even though cats and bats look completely different, they both share a similar feature: forelimbs, a characteristic feature from their common early mammalian ancestors.

On the other hand, whales (mammals) and sharks (fish) do not share a common ancestor. So, the fins are analogous structures: both have a similar function because both have adapted to an aquatic environment but they have completely separate evolutionary origins.

The ______ is a federal legislation passed that limits how administrative agencies are run and contains very specific guidelines
makvit [3.9K]

The Administrative Procedure Act is federal legislation passed that limits how administrative agencies are run and contains very specific guidelines on rule-making by agencies.

The Administrative Procedure Act (APA), which was enacted on June 11, 1946, is a federal law of the United States that establishes guidelines for how administrative agencies of the federal government of the United States may develop regulations and gives U.S. federal courts control over all agency actions. Although each US government agency is organized within one of the three branches of government (executive, legislative, and judicial), that branch's duties frequently overlap with those of the agencies' purview. The APA controls how federal agencies create and publish regulations. There are opportunities for the public to comment on notices of proposed rule-making, as well as requirements for publishing notices of proposed and final rule-making in the Federal Register.
