Answer:
A term used to describe the situation in which a public official or fiduciary who, contrary to the obligation and absolute duty to act for the benefit of the public or a designated individual, exploits the relationship for personal benefit, typically pecuniary.
In certain relationships, individuals or the general public place their trust and confidence in someone to act in their best interests. When an individual has the responsibility to represent another person—whether as administrator, attorney, executor, government official, or trustee—a clash between professional obligations and personal interests arises if the individual tries to perform that duty while at the same time trying to achieve personal gain. The appearance of a conflict of interest is present if there is a potential for the personal interests of an individual to clash with fiduciary duties, such as when a client has his or her attorney commence an action against a company in which the attorney is the majority stockholder.
Incompatibility of professional duties and personal interests has led Congress and many state legislatures to enact statutes defining conduct that constitutes a conflict of interest and specifying the sanctions for violations. A member of a profession who has been involved in a conflict of interest might be subject to disciplinary proceedings before the body that granted permission to practice that profession.

hi there!
i believe it is different for each states. the baker act provided emergency mental health services and temporary detention to people who are unsafe because of their mental illness. your sister can be held in there involuntarily for only up to 72 hours.. that is if she wasnt a minor, now for her it is only 12 hours before examination is initiated. you said that you and your family have not been able to see her? as im researching more about this law, it found out that "unless having visitors will be harmful to the person being treated. If a facility wants to restrict visitors from a patient, they must file a written notice documenting the refusal of visitation." which means you guys must have gotten a written notice telling you that seeing her isnt the safest option right now. since your sister is a minor someone must have had to contacted the police/ law enforcement about her..
mental heath facilities have to provide notice to minor patient guardians, no later than 24 hours after admission, they must also document all contact attempts. that notification must be give as soon as your sister entered at that facility.. it can take just about a full 24 hours if the facility have evidence to believe that the patient has been abused.
i have yet to have any evidence that states that they can hold minors without consent of the legal parent guardian, i doubt that your sister was able to even go into that mental heath facility without your parents or someone with the law knowing.
i really hope this help you and i hope the best for your family and your sister!

Answer:
I think it is the middle one?
Explanation:
Answer:
A. House of Representatives
C. Senate
Explanation:
The Constitution of the United States of America can be amended because the Founding Fathers believed that there might be reason to in order to ensure that the rights and welfare of all Americans are looked after.
Recognizing the impact a Constitutional amendment could make however, they made the process a bit difficult to ensure that the amendment has enough support.
There are two ways to propose an amendment. The first is through Congress where two-thirds of both Houses of Congress would have to vote in favor of the amendment for it to proceed.
The Second is when two-thirds of States ask Congress to form a National Convention which will then Nominate Amendments.
In the first method, the process of Amendment can begin either in the Senate or the House of Representatives because it will still need a two-thirds vote in either.
