What branch of the federal government is able to propose an amendment

1 answer:

4 0

Only the Congress (which is in the legislative branch) can propose a constitutional amendment, which must not only be approved by a large majority in the Congress itself but must also be ratified, or approved, by two-thirds of the states.

Since one of the powers of the president (who is in the executive branch) is to suggest legislative agendas, the president can technically also suggest a constitutional amendment to the Congress. But in this case the president's proposal is merely a suggestion and has no legislative authority, since the real authority is with the Congress.

Answer: The legislative branch

Illusion [34]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

An argumentative assertion wherein the author or spokesperson ignores one of the large or small assumptions, does not express it explicitly or suggests this assumption is called an "enthymeme." Nevertheless the excluded premise in an enthymeme remains recognizable even though it is not articulated clearly.

Enthymeme is a rhetorical device such as syllogism, and is known as truncated syllogism or rhetoric. The goal is to influence the audience, and make inferences for them. It is easy to recognise such inferences as these comments occur after "because."
