What is the breakdown of the ethnicity of voting members of the 115th Congress

1 answer:

3 0

Almost one-in-five voting members of the House and Senate are a racial or ethnic minority, making the 115th U.S. Congress the most diverse in history. And while Congress as a whole remains disproportionately white when compared with the U.S. population, the racial and ethnic profile of newly elected members more closely resembles the increasingly diverse populace, according to a Pew Research Center analysis.

Overall, nonwhites (including blacks, Hispanics, Asians/Pacific Islanders and Native Americans) make up 19% of the current Congress. By comparison, nonwhite Hispanics and other racial minorities make up 38% of the nation’s population.

Minorities, however, account for 20 of 59 new members (34%) of the House and Senate. This represents a notable jump over the 114th Congress, when just 11 of 71 new members (15%) were aracial or ethnic minority and the Senate had no newly elected minority members. This year, three freshman senators are a racial or ethnic minority, along with 17 new members of the House. hope this helps

How was the wooden marionette related to the wooden diving board?

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

A wooden marionette is a figure that is normally used for theatrics. It is controlled by a person who holds it from the upper part with a series of nylon strings which are attached to each of the marionette's extremities.

A Wooden diving board is normally found on the edge of swimming pools. It is used by amateur and professional divers in order to execute dives into the pool.

Both of them function by the principle of equilibrium. In the case of the marionette, the person who is operating it moves its fingers up and down in order to create movement. In the case of the diving board, the metal bolts which hold the board's structure cause an opposing force that ultimately serves as a counterbalance when the diver jumps into the other end of the board.
