Answer:
The Quakers rejected slavery on the grounds that it contradicted the Christian concept of brotherhood.
Explanation:
The Quakers are a religious movement that originated among Christian English dissenters in the mid-17th century. At the end of the 1600s, many Quaker immigrants emigrated to North America, where William Penn founded Pennsylvania.
Quakers imagine that there is something of God within every human being, which, like an inner light, can guide one. The movement emphasizes that each person must find his or her own way to God, that God exists within every human being, and that the personal experience of God is the only guidance a human can have. Therefore, as God lived in every human, even in African-Americans, men were all equal and as a consequence brothers under God. This religious view, therefore, made them reject slavery during the 19th Century.

Answer: D) Overriding a veto</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
When both houses of Congress agree on a law, they send the final bill to the President for it to be signed into law. If the President doesn't agree, then s/he has the option to veto the bill. After this point, the Congress has the option to override the veto if 2/3 of both houses agree to override.
This means that:
- At least 67 Senators must agree to the override (note how 2/3 of 100 is 66.67 approximately, so 67 is the smallest number that clears this threshold)
- At least 290 House of Representative members must agree to the override. This figure is due to (2/3)*435 = 290. There are currently 435 house members.
Both of those conditions listed above must be met for a veto override to occur. This is extremely difficult and rare considering the polarizing political climate. On things that nearly everyone agrees about, the President would likely not veto the bill (since the President is likely to agree with the Congress on such issues), and a veto override wouldn't even need to be considered.
