The US Constitution originally said that senators would be selected by state legislatures. Per the terms of the 17th Amendment,

senators are now elected directly by the citizens of their respective states.
The party balance in the 115th Congress (2017–19) is 51 Republicans, 47 Democrats, and 2 independents, who caucus with the Democrats. As of January 2018, Republicans had control of the legislatures of 31 states; Democrats had control in 14; control was split in 4; and Nebraska was officially nonpartisan.

Based on the provisions of the 17th Amendment, we can see that the provisions of the United States Constitution gave the people the right to vote for their senators who would represent their interests instead of the state legislature.

With this in mind, we can see that if the seat of a senator is unoccupied, then the governor of the state can<em> make his appointment of a senator</em>.

Based on the given data on the party balance of the US Senators, it is still not enough reason to repeal the 17th Amendment because giving the people the right to choose their representatives is still the core value of democracy which should never be tampered with.

Well a clock has twelve hours that make up a full circle, or 360 degrees, so you divide 12 by 360 then multiply by the degree, which in this case is 81.81 and that's the number of hours. (You figure out the minutes by looking at the decimal)

A rectangle has a length of 80 units and a width of 39 units. Find the length of the diagonal.
levacccp [35]
Equation = a² + b² = c²

a = 80
b = 39
c = Diagonal

a² + b² = c²
80² + 39² = c²
6400 + 1521 = c²
   c² = 7921
   c  = √7921
   c  = 89

 Answer = 89 units

The chef took out 54.8 g of butter but then found out that he took out 6.9 g of butter more than he needed. How much butter did
stira [4]

Answer:

47.9 gm

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, calculation of the given data are as follows,

Total butter took = 54.8 gm

Extra butter quantity = 6.9g

So, we can calculate the exact quantity of butter needed by using following formula,

Exact butter needed = Total butter - Extra butter quantity

By putting the value, we get

Exact butter needed = 54.8 gm - 6.9gm

= 47.9 gm

Hence, he need 47.9gm butter.
