The existence of double pay scale - men get paid higher than women for doing the same job
More than half the population is female
There is a concentration of women in low paying jobs and scarce or rare number of women in executive jobs
PROS: people get to choose who they want in office and a democratic gov. often keeps check on corruption, making it less likely to go to war.
CONS: people could vote for someone in office for their selfish needs rather than focusing on the needs of the country as a whole and terms in office could be too short causing views to change often which could lead to an unsteady government.
hope this helps :)
Answer:
The U.S. Constitution defines several powers exclusive to the U.S. Congress, among them:
- The power to formally declare war, vested on the Senate.
- The power to raise revenue (collect taxes). Bills that raise revenue have to originate in the House.
- The power to impeach the President. One of its most famous discretionary powers. The House accuses, and the Senate decides the trial.
- The power to confirm Justices of the Supreme Court - also a discretionary power given specifically to the Senate: the president presents a candidate, and the Senate either confirms or rejects the candidate.
Answer:
By the system of self-checking.
Explanation:
Balance in U.S. constitution is all about the Separation of Powers, how the power is shared between the branches and how it can be challenged by one branch on one another.
The Legislature branch is a bicameral system, that combined the ideas that each state should have equal representation in the federal government (Senate) and representatives that were based on population number (House of representatives).
To guarantee the balance of House of Representatives and Senate a system of self-checking was created that includes:
* Bills must be passed by both houses of Congress;
* House must originate revenue bills;
* Neither house may adjourn for more than three days without the consent of the other house;
* All journals are to be published.
