Ray Of Light [21]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

There are a couple of things that can occur:

1)The bill would be struck down by votes in either the House of Representative (HR) or in the Senate (S).

- If the bill does not garner enough support or votes, the vote will die in the the corresponding house.

2) The bill will be veto and/or line veto by the President.

- The bill would be automatically vetoed, which would be returned to both houses to be passed if they get 2/3 votes in each congress. Line veto can be used when they pass the bill but WOULD NOT enforce PARTS of the law.

3) Law is declared Unconstitutional.

- The third branch of government, the Supreme Court, can void the law and declare the law unconstitutional.

4) Popular Opinion: On certain occasions, Citizens of the US can try Direct Democracy, in which if they gather enough signatures or supporters, they can force the government to reconsider their choice.

In ancient Asia how would people communicate?
zzz [600]
The most common method of communication in ancient Asia is sending a messenger on a horse. There are transfer stations for horses throughout the continent that allows the messenger to switch to a new horse after covering some distance. Water transportation is also used for communication. In China during an invasion from the North, soldiers on the towers of the Great Wall of China would light up a torch and all the other towers would do that as well until it reaches the capital.
