The American Revolution caused a division between the British government and the colonies. The American colonists claimed that t

hey were not represented in Parliament, so Parliament had no right to tax them. This issue was the source of the well-known phrase “taxation without representation.” Many of the colonists wanted their rights represented in the government. Today, there is concern that many people don’t vote, and only people who vote are represented by the government. In the last presidential election only 55 percent of eligible citizens voted. Why do you think voter participation is so low in the United States today? Do you think Americans still believe that it is important to be represented in government? Why or why not?

A senator can delay or impede a bill by
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Tag-Teaming

Explanation:

'Tag-Teaming' a hold requires at least two senators that want to hold the legislation indefinitely. The first senator (anonymously) places a hold on the legislation, and then, before their name is entered into the record, releases the hold. As a result, Senators can effectively wage (or threaten to wage) a filibuster – in effect, insist on extended debate in order to delay or prevent a final vote on most amendments, bills, or other motions.

Mila [183]

Answer:

a: eat at a restaurant and hear a speech

Explanation:

Individuals who went to Rome's forum were likely to eat at a restaurant and hear a speech. This is because the Forum was the city's center and was mainly a public area/marketplace, in which commercial, religious, economic, political, legal, and social activities took place on a day to day basis, such as restaurants and political speeches. Fora are extremely common in all Roman cities, but Rome's forum was the biggest and most well known of them all.
