Read the following excerpt from the novel Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens: Pale and haggard faces, lank and bony figures, c

hildren with the countenances of old men, deformities with irons upon their limbs, boys of stunted growth, and others whose long meagre legs would hardly bear their stooping bodies, all crowded on the view together, there were the bleared eye, the hare-lip, the crooked foot, and every ugliness or distortion that told of unnatural aversion conceived by parents for their offspring, or of young lives which, from the earliest dawn of infancy, had been one horrible endurance of cruelty and neglect. There were little faces which should have been handsome, darkened with the scowl of sullen, dogged suffering; there was childhood with the light of its eye quenched, its beauty gone, and its helplessness alone remaining; there were vicious faced boys, brooding, with leaden eyes, like malefactors in a jail; and there were young creatures on whom the sins of their frail parents had descended, weeping even for the mercenary nurses they had known, and lonesome even in their loneliness. With every kindly sympathy and affection blasted in its birth, with every young and healthy feeling flogged and starved down, with every revengeful passion that can fester in swollen hearts, eating its evil way to their core in silence, what an incipient Hell was breeding here! What may have encouraged Charles Dickens to write this passage?​

Which scenario best illustrates the principle of checks and balances?
Lelu [443]

The correct answer is D. Congress overrides a presidential veto of a law that establishes a new tax.

Explanation

The principle of checks and balances is a principle of government (constitutional) in which it is established that the branches of the public power (judicial, executive, and legislative) have the right and the duty to act to avoid actions of other branches to power is balanced between the three branches. According to the above, the correct answer is D. Congress overrides a presidential veto of a law that establishes a new tax because it illustrates a situation in which the branch of the legislature (Congress) avoids an action by the branch of the executive branch (president).

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! Why were written laws needed as early societies became larger and more complex? Please explain.
gladu [14]

Laws were needed to justify the need for order in the rising complexity of the civilization so as more laws were written more were enforced and more were needed to justify that enforcement
