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".

Locate the Andean countries of South America on this map. What economic challenge is unique to Bolivia among the Andean
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The Andean countries of South America in the geopolitical sense are Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Peru.

Explanation:

Bolivia is unique among the Andean countries because it is landlocked. It has no access to either the Atlantic or the Pacific ocean. Bolivia lost its coast to Chile during the War of the Pacific in 1879–1884 and became a landlocked country. This is still an ongoing dispute, at least in the eyes of Bolivia.  The dispute with Chile was taken to the International Court of Justice as recently as 2018. The Court decided in favor of the Chileans. They declared that Chile was not obligated to negotiate a Bolivian corridor of access to the ocean, although it had held discussions regarding this with Bolivian representatives.

Which was the original difference between the Sunnis and the Shias?
Lesechka [4]

<u><em>D) is the correct answer.</em></u>

The original difference between the Sunnis and the Shias was they disagreed on who should have succeeded Muhammad .

About 15% of Muslims belong to Shiism. They are in favor of which the caliphs (responsible of the government) must be descendants of the prophet Muhammad and that the correct successory line is the one drawn up by Ali, cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad.

On the other hand the Sunnies are the main branch of Islam and, although they coincide in the majority of the religious aspects with the Shiites, they do not agree with the premise on the line of succession of the Caliphs. Generally the countries belonging to Sunism have governments elected according to criteria specific to each particular population.
