Which idea of U.S. government is most illustrated by the passage?
A. confederal system
B. separation of powers
C. veto power
D. popular sovereignty
I'm sorry, but I need the passage in order to determine which idea of U.S. government is most illustrated. Without the passage, I won't be able to give you an accurate answer. Could you please provide more context or the full passage?
All political power is inherent in the people and government is instituted for their protection, security and benefit; and they have the right to alter, reform or abolish the same, in such manner as they may think proper.
-Constitution of the State of Arkansas of 1874, Article 2, Section 1
The idea of popular sovereignty is most illustrated by the passage. This means that the power and authority of the government comes from the people, who have the right to alter or abolish it if they are not satisfied with its performance. The passage underscores the idea that government exists for the benefit of the people, and its powers are derived from the people rather than from some external source such as a monarch or a deity.
Thanks this is helping me check my answers, that's what I got as well!
Great, I'm glad I could help. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, just let me know!
Which of the following elected officials introduce laws in Congress that may become national laws?
Members of Congress introduce laws in Congress that may become national laws. In particular, members of the House of Representatives and the Senate introduce bills, which are proposals for new laws or changes to existing laws. Once a bill is introduced, it goes through a series of steps, including committee review, floor debate and voting, and potentially a conference committee if the House and Senate versions of the bill are different. If the bill passes both the House and Senate and is signed by the President or passes over a presidential veto, it becomes a national law.
Which of the following elected officials introduce laws in Congress that may become national laws?
A. U.S. representative or senator
B. governor of Arkansas
C. state representative or senator
D. mayor
The elected officials who introduce laws in Congress that may become national laws are U.S. representatives or senators. Option A is the correct answer. Governors of states, state representatives or senators, and mayors do not have the authority to introduce laws in Congress.
What is the main difference between a presidential system and a parliamentary system of government?
A. The chief executive of a presidential system is called the president, while the chief executive of a parliamentary system is called the prime minister.
B. The presidential system is used mostly in the western hemisphere, whereas the parliamentary system is mostly used the eastern hemisphere.
C. The chief executive of the presidential system is separate from the legislature, but the chief executive of the parliamentary system is usually a member of the legislature.
D. The presidential system has a written constitution, while the parliamentary system does not.
The main difference between a presidential system and a parliamentary system of government is C: The chief executive of the presidential system is separate from the legislature, but the chief executive of the parliamentary system is usually a member of the legislature.
In a presidential system, the president is directly elected by the people and serves as both the head of state and the head of government, with separate executive and legislative branches of government. In contrast, in a parliamentary system, the prime minister is typically a member of the parliament (legislature) who is selected by and remains responsible to the legislative majority or ruling coalition, and serves as the head of government while a separate head of state (such as a monarch or president) may have largely ceremonial powers.
Which of the following terms accurately describes the style of government set up in the U.S. Constitution? Select all that apply.
A. presidential system
B. parliamentary system
C. confederal system
D. federal system
E. unitary system
The terms that accurately describe the style of government set up in the U.S. Constitution are A) presidential system and D) federal system.
A presidential system is a system of government where the executive branch is separate from the legislative branch and is led by a president who is directly elected by the citizens. In the US, the President is directly elected by the people, which is a feature of a presidential system.
A federal system is a system of government in which power is divided between a central authority and constituent political units, such as states or provinces. This power-sharing arrangement allows each component to enjoy a degree of autonomy while still remaining under the umbrella of the central government. The US Constitution establishes a federal system of government in which power is divided between the national government and the individual state governments.
What is the purpose of the legislative branch of a government?
A. to punish lawbreakers
B. to make sure that laws are carried out
C. to decide whether or not laws are following the constitution
D. to write and pass laws
The purpose of the legislative branch of a government is to write and pass laws. Option D is the correct answer. The legislative branch is one of the three branches of the US government and has the primary responsibility of making laws. Members of Congress, which is part of the legislative branch, introduce, debate, and vote on legislation that, if passed, will become law. The other branches of government checks and balances the legislative branch to make sure that the laws they write and pass are constitutional.
How does the president check the power of Congress?
A. The president has the ability to veto any bill that Congress passes.
B. Only the president can introduce bills into the House of Representatives.
C. The president can refuse to let a passed bill move from one house to the other.
D. The president sets topics for bills every year, and any bill must align to one of those topics.
The president checks the power of Congress by having the power to veto any bill that Congress passes. Option A is the correct answer. The veto is a constitutional power of the President that allows him or her to reject a bill passed by Congress. If the President vetoes a bill, it is returned to Congress, where a two-thirds majority of both the House of Representatives and the Senate can override the veto and pass the bill into law without the President's approval. This gives the President a significant degree of influence over the legislative process. However, it should be noted that the president's veto power is not absolute, and it can be overridden by Congress if there is enough support for the bill.
Which of the following is true about the legislative process?
A. A bill may skip the second house and go straight to the president with a two-thirds majority in the original house.
B. A bill may get stuck in committee in the House or Senate and never be considered by the full legislature.
C. All bills dealing with foreign trade must start in the Senate.
D. Senators are limited to six terms in office, and representatives are limited to two terms in office.
Option B is true about the legislative process: a bill may get stuck in committee in the House or Senate and never be considered by the full legislature.
Committees are crucial to the legislative process, as they provide a way for members of Congress to consider bills in depth and also allow for a filtering process to occur. However, sometimes a bill may be stalled in committee and never make it to the full House or Senate for consideration.
Option A is incorrect because for a bill to become law, it must pass both the House of Representatives and the Senate, and be signed by the President, so a bill cannot skip the second house and go straight to the President.
Option C is incorrect because there is no requirement that bills dealing with foreign trade must start in the Senate.
Option D is incorrect because there are no term limits for members of Congress, according to the US Constitution. Senators serve for six-year terms with no limit on the number of terms, while Representatives serve two-year terms with no limit on the number of terms.
From 1876 through 1964, Arkansas voted for the Democratic Party candidate for the president of the United States. Why did Arkansas begin to vote for Republican Party candidates in the 1960s? Did this reflect a shift in the beliefs of political parties or the beliefs of most voters?
Arkansas began to vote for Republican Party candidates in the 1960s due to a dramatic shift in the political landscape following the Civil Rights Movement and the implementation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This shift reflected a change in voter beliefs rather than a shift in party ideology.
Historically, Arkansas had been a solidly Democratic state due to its predominantly rural and agricultural population and the fact that the Democratic Party represented the interests of southern farmers and their conservative views. However, this changed in the 1960s as the national Democratic Party began to embrace the civil rights movement and advocate for desegregation and equal rights for African Americans.
Many white southern voters, including those in Arkansas, were opposed to these civil rights reforms, and this fueled a shift in party affiliation towards the Republican Party. The Republican Party, which had been traditionally associated with a more northern and urban constituency, began to make inroads in the south by appealing to white southern voters who were alienated by the national Democratic Party's stance on civil rights issues.
In short, the switch by Arkansas from voting Democratic to voting Republican was brought about by a change in the voters' priorities and beliefs, rather than a shift in party ideology.
