<span>Since the decision of the
Speaker of the House, John William McCormack, was to ask the high
chamber member Adam Clayton Powell Jr. not to take an oath, because of
the previous scandal in which Powell had been involved; If
the jury had decided in favor of Speaker McCormack, the way of operating
in the congress would have been questioned, since only one member could
be expelled according to what the constitution says, and not by the
decisions of the speaker. <span>The scope would have been very
large if it failed in McCormack's favor, giving a sense of illegality or

Answer:
Some of the issues that polarized American Society ever since are:
- Gun politics - the right to keep guns is protected by the Second Amendment. However, the amount of guns in the United States is large, and some political commentators argue that this is one of the causes of the increasing amount of mass shootings in the country. This is why people on different political aisles have called for more gun regulation, while others oppose these measures.
- Abortion - this is a hot button issue up to this day. People disagree on everything here: whether a fetus is a human being or not, whether women should keep unwated pregnacies or not, whether the argument should be framed in a religious fashion or in a secular fashion, etc.
- Recreational drug use and legalization - Drug use is still frowned upon by most of society, but this has not stopped marihuana from being legalized in several states. Many economists support legalization because they believe that prohibition only leads to inflated prices in black markets that are prone to violence. Legalization of hard drugs such as cocaine and heroine, however, is much more controversial.
- Separation of church and state - Some people believe that United States is a Christian nation, and that the church should have a lot of influence in the government, while others argue that America is a secular country, and that state and religous matters are separate.
Answer:
B. The 55 N cat has less mass than the 110 N dog.
Explanation:
Given;
weight of the cat, W₁ = 55 N
Weight of the dog, W₂ = 110 N
distance between the cat and the dog, d = 2 m
The acceleration due to gravity (g) acting on both animals is the same irrespective of their different positions.
g = 9.8 m/s²
Force of gravity, F = W = mg
where;
m is the mass of the animals
The mass of the cat = m₁ = W₁/g
m₁ = 55/9.8 = 5.6 kg
The mass of the dog = m₂ = W₂/g
m₂ = 110/9.8 = 11.22 kg
Therefore, it can be seen that the mass of the cat is less than the mass of the dog.
