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

History
1 answer:
Misha Larkins [42]3 years ago
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

The Glorious Revolution was caused by:
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Correct answer is: concerns about Catholic succession.

Explanation:

Concerns about Catholic succession is the correct answer as England was ruled by the Catholic Stuart dynasty, and when the last one of them was overthrown ( James II ), William of Orange and his wife Mary, who were Protestants, were brought to the throne.

British taxation of the American colonies is not correct, because this led to American Revolution.

The application of reason to questions of politics was the popular idea, mostly spread by philosophers of Enlightenment, but it didn't led to Glorious Revolution.

A growing intellectual curiosity and knowledge from Muslim scholars has no connections with Revolution whatsoever. It is typical for some medieval Muslim Empires.
