<span>Cloture is rarely invoked in the Senate because it is difficult to achieve the required three-fifths vote (60/100), because the cloture would be increasingly invoked and would lose its power, and because it curtails the democratic process.

Gerrymandering is a way of drawing legislative distribution in order to give one party more seats in proportion to the share of votes that the candidates have. A bipartisan committee is the best solution to the problem of gerrymandering because if it was solved by the party in power when they next lost power, the other party would reverse their action.

By forming various organizations.
The European Union, for example, unites Europe (Minus Britain these days) under one banner, thus preventing fighting.
A more direct example is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. NATO protects the "North Atlantic" and Europe from terrorists and invading countries by using the combined military strength of multiple nations.
The Scientific Revolution was a series of events that marked the emergence of modern science during the early modern period, when developments in mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology (including human anatomy) and chemistry transformed the views of society about nature. The Scientific Revolution took place in Europe towards the end of the Renaissance period and continued through the late 18th century, influencing the intellectual social movement known as the Enlightenment. While its dates are debated, the publication in 1543 of Nicolaus Copernicus's De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres) is often cited as marking the beginning of the Scientific Revolution.
The concept of a scientific revolution taking place over an extended period emerged in the eighteenth century in the work of Jean Sylvain Bailly, who saw a two-stage process of sweeping away the old and establishing the new. The beginning of the Scientific Revolution, the Scientific Renaissance, was focused on the recovery of the knowledge of the ancients; this is generally considered to have ended in 1632 with publication of Galileo's Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems. The completion of the Scientific Revolution is attributed to the "grand synthesis" of Isaac Newton's 1687 Principia. The work formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation thereby completing the synthesis of a new cosmology. By the end of the 18th century, the Age of Enlightenment that followed Scientific Revolution had given way to the "Age of Reflection."
