For a fixed-rate loan, the interest rate remains the same throughout the life of the loan. For a variable-rate loan, the interest rate changes based on the time of year.
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
Loan rates are classified into two types: Fixed and Variable. In Fixed loan rates the interest rate prevails the same throughout the loan's life. Variable loan rates are also called floating loan rates. This interest rate will oscillate based on the outstanding balance as well as market rates.
These rates will be changed periodically like monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annual basis. Comparing to the fixed rate, it is harder to estimate the interest rate for the borrowers. It can be increased or even decreased based on the loan's life.

Answer:
By the 1960 presidential campaign, civil rights had emerged as a crucial issue. Just a few weeks before the election, Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested while leading a protest in Atlanta, Georgia. John Kennedy phoned his wife, Coretta Scott King to express his concern, while a call from Robert Kennedy to the judge helped secure her husband's safe release. The Kennedys' personal intervention led to a public endorsement by Martin Luther King Sr., the influential father of the civil rights leader.
Across the nation, more than 70 percent of African Americans voted for Kennedy, and these votes provided the winning edge in several key states. When President Kennedy took office in January 1961, African Americans had high expectations for the new administration.
But Kennedy's narrow election victory and small working margin in Congress left him cautious. He was reluctant to lose southern support for legislation on many fronts by pushing too hard on civil rights legislation. Instead, he appointed unprecedented numbers of African Americans to high-level positions in the administration and strengthened the Civil Rights Commission. He spoke out in favor of school desegregation, praised a number of cities for integrating their schools, and put Vice President Lyndon Johnson in charge of the President's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity. Attorney General Robert Kennedy turned his attention to voting rights, initiating five times the number of suits brought during the previous administration.
Explanation:
The President (Executive Branch) has the power to appoint US Supreme Court justices and other (Article III ) federal judges. subject to approval by the Senate. He can and does choose judges who subscribe to his own legal philosophy and so can possibly shape future court opinions. The judges serve for life and their stance on future cases is hard to predict in many cases.
The president can also grant pardons for federal offenses
One is the fact that the judicial branch needs the executive branch to enforce its decisions. As an example, when the Supreme Court ruled that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional in Brown v. Bd. of Education of Topeka, it took the President's ordering the National Guard out to make some states abide by the ruling. The Judicial Branch has no way to enforce its decisions without the executive's co-operation.. Another is the fact that it is the executive branch that nominates the judges in the first place. As a practical matter, presidents nominate persons who share the same political beliefs they do. This has the effect of creating (or trying to create) a judicial branch that will interpret the Constitution the way that that president would like. Trouble is, once a Supreme Court Justice is confirmed, nothing can be done to force him or her to rule in a particular way. They are appointed with lifetime tenure on good behavior and their salaries cannot be diminished while they are in office.. And as to salaries, nothing says a president has to include raises for them in any budget he proposes.
The Executive branch gets to choose candidates for federal judgeships, including Supreme Court Justices. The President also has the power to pardon people convicted of federal offenses, Since the President controls the Department of Justice, he has some leeway in how laws are enforced.
Answer:
In the period 1750 - 1900, there were many revolutions around the world, that changed the global social, economic, and political landscape. Many of these revolutions had one thing in common: they were led by people who demanded the end of monarchies or dictatorships, and the establishment of more republicans forms of government.
We had three good examples to confirm this: the American Revolution, the French Revolution, and the Latin American Revolutions. They all occurred from the end of the XVIII century to the first three decades of the XIX century. They all wanted to end a monarchical form of government, and to replace it with a Republican form of government.
The American Revolution is the clearest example, it resulted in the secession of the American Colonies from the United Kingdom, and the formation of a new federal republic: the United States of America.
