There are many reasons for the stalemate develop along the western front, they are:
1. <em>The Schlieffen Plan failed</em>, the German commander made an alteration of the forced and made the right wing smaller than the left wing, this made it slower than planned and gave the opportunity to British and French forces to counter-attack. Also, the Germans didn’t plan that Belgium would resist.
2. The second reason is that the <em>Germans didn’t imagine the Russians would attack them in the east</em>, this is one of the reasons the right wing on number 1 was weakened.
3. Even though the Germans were completely exhausted they marched until Paris and French army was unable to defeat the German army at the <em>Battle of Marne</em> because they were in a large number and British and French army weren’t as prepared as the German’s.
4. After this both armies marched to the Belgian coast and stayed there for the <em>next 4 years</em>, this happened for many reasons such as <em>bad weather</em> - it was winter and there was a lot of mud - and the <em>new advanced mechanizes weapons</em> like machine guns made them stay inside their trenches to avoid more deaths.
Well there are two ways of really explaining this, but "The Common Good" by definition is something that benefits or interests of everyone.
The political term, is literally the same thing; "What is shared and beneficial for most members of a given community"
Hope this is the answer you are searching for.
The first factor is is that if you're capable of conducting governmental investigation then you would join the Standing Committee. It is a type of a permanent committee that exists for the purpose of dealing with any of the problems that need constant consideration. There are 16 such committees in the United States
The second factor is based on your capabilities to study a particular governmental issue which is when you join the Select Committee. A select committee is formed when a new problem arises and these committees solve these problems and then stop existing. Their purpose is to examine a certain issue and investigate it.
The third is for those that have a connection between houses and can conduct business with them which is when they would join a Joint committee. Joint committees are formed from members of both houses of the congress and they commonly have very narrow jurisdiction and do not report legislation to the congress.
The fourth is for those who have connection between the house and the senate who then join a Conference Committee. Conference committees deal with solving issues regarding legislation. If the two houses of congress can't agree on legislation, a conference committee is formed to help them resolve the issue.
