4) How has the Republican party used their congressional advantage to advance President

Trump's judge nominees. (Nuclear option & shortening debate) How does that work?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The Republican party currently have a majority in the US Senate. However, they need to ally with some Democratic senators to achieve a filibuster-proof majority which requires 60/100 votes to advance president's judge nominees.

To avoid the rarely successful alliance, Republican senators employed some parliamentary procedures like nuclear option to shorten debates and overcome the protest of the Democrat senators.

Explanation:

Nuclear option: parliamentary procedure that allows the majority party of the US Senate to override a standing rule of the Senate by a simple majority of 51 votes.

How would you describe president kennedy's tone and word choice in this excerpt? America vs soviet union

Answers

Answer:

The excerpt provided in the question belongs to a speech President Kennedy gave in West Berlin on June 26th, 1963. The President's word choices such as "failures", "world to see", "obvious", "offense against humanity" "dividing" help to set the tone and meaning of his speech. Kennedy addressed the audience in Berlin, but also the world, to express the support given by the United States to West Berlin against the wall that the Soviet Union had built. He uses repetition, for example with the word offense, to give a clear message on how the communist system is attacking the freedom of the world and of all of Berlin's citizens, and how democracy is the only solution to the separation of families and communities that want to be together.

2. Referencing the article (webquest link), when the government first shut down, what were

lawmakers having trouble reaching an agreement about?

3. What were the two main reasons that led to the government shutdown?

Answers

Explanation:

1. Note, the term compromise in politics refers to when both parties in a dispute make concessions. To promote compromise there is an equal voice in the Senate, but in the House of Representatives it is based on the size of each state's population, thus creating an opportunity for shared powers.

2. A lack of agreement between the Republican-led House of Representatives and the Democratic-led Senate was because of the contents of the 2014 Continuing Appropriations Resolution bill that would in effect create a delay in funding for the 2013 Affordable Care Act (ACA).

3. The US Government shutdown were as a result of:

a. Refusal to pass the Affordable Care Act by the US Senate,

b. There was no compromise bill by the end of September 30, 2013, which led to a government shutdown in early 2014.

5. Explain the motivating factors that led many people to convert to Islam during its spread into northern India.

Answers

Answer: The spread of Islam through merchants, missionaries, and pilgrims was very different in nature. These kinds of exchanges affected native populations slowly and led to more conversion to Islam. As Islamic ideas traveled along various trade and pilgrimage routes, they mingled with local cultures and transformed into new versions and interpretations of the religion.

Explanation:  Over a period of a few hundred years, Islam spread from its place of origin in the Arabian Peninsula all the way to modern Spain in the west and northern India in the east.

Islam traveled through these regions in many ways. Sometimes it was carried in great caravans or sea vessels traversing vast trade networks on land and sea, and other times it was transferred through military conquest and the work of missionaries. As Islamic ideas and cultures came into contact with new societies, they were expressed in unique ways and ultimately took on diverse forms.

To begin to understand the rich history of Islam, let’s start with the historical context and events that led to Islam’s spread. For example, Islam initially spread through the military conquests of Arab Muslims, which happened over a very short period of time soon after the beginning of Islam. However, only a small fraction of the people who came under Arab Muslim control immediately adopted Islam. It wasn’t until centuries later, at the end of the eleventh century, that Muslims made up the majority of subjects of the Islamic empires.
