The government may be violating the Fifth Amendment by trying to prosecute Mary and Bob again.
The Fifth Amendment states (among other things) that a person can be tried only once in federal court for the same offense. Given that Mary and Bob were already prosecuted for identity theft and won the case due to lack of evidence, the government can try to prosecute them again, but it will be violating the Fifth Amendment in doing so.
The answer to the question is ad-hoc committees.
This is because the committee is created only for the purpose of studying whether it is feasible to hold the Olympics in Atlanta and what preparations and the underlying budgets needed for the event to be realized.
Joint committees refer to committees where the members’ compositions originate from at least two different organizations.

Conference committees, on the other hand, refers to a committee created in the U.S. congress to settle disagreements on a certain legislature.
The fourth question is correct (D).
To understand this answer, one must understand the mechanism of correction of inflationary processes.
Inflation erodes the purchasing power, thus, the elderly with fixed income will be harmed and not beneficiaries in an inflationary process.
<u>The main mechanism to reduce inflation is the interest rate.</u> In this way, when inflation happens, the Federal Reserve raises the interest rate. This makes public bonds profitable and economic agents begin to use money by buying bonds, reducing the circulation of money and consequently lowering inflation.
For banks that have made adjustable rate loans, this will be a good thing, as interest on the contracts will increase along with the increase in the interest rate, which will make the contracts yield more. Therefore, banks will be the biggest beneficiaries. However, this will happen only when the rate is adjustable.
