<p>Austin, I believe the answer is A.
I is definetly correct - The Senate gets unlimited time on the floor, while the HR gets limited time since the Senate is much smaller then the House of Reps.
II is definetly incorrect - While the House has a Rules Committee, the Senate does not have one. Thus, the Senate Rules Committee is not weak, it does not exist!!!!
III- Based on the choices, you dont have to even look to see if this is right
or wrong.
B is wrong because it has II in it.
C is wrong because it does not have I in it.
D is wrong because it has II in it.
E is wrong because it has II in it. </p>
<p>I-Since there are 435 House Reps compared to 100 senators, time is limited and debate must be controlled. Senate, having less members, has unlimited debate time, which can result in filibusters.</p>
<p>II-Due to the many issues and members in the House, a rules committee is necessary to manage the many different bills, schedule voting times, and decide whether it is an open or closed rule debate (open rule=u can suggest amendments, closed u can't).</p>
<p>III-Again, large number of Reps and many bills presented require that debate be related to the topic of the bill (germane). This is not the case w/ the smaller Senate, as senators can propose additional, unrelated bills to the original bill, such as pork barrel legislation, in exchange for their votes on the debated bill.</p>
<p>Dennis v. US is about the overthrow of the government. </p>
<p>It ruled the Smith act unconstitutionals and ruled that one can advocate the overthrow of the gov't as long as they are not activly seeking a way to do so.</p>
<p>no that really is the right answer.... PR is not wrong. It was in 1948 and everybody was freaked out about pinkos. Some communists were arrested under the Smith Act for advocating the overthrow of the government but it was ruled that they could advocate the overthrow of the government they just couldn't actually follow through with their ideas.</p>
<p>oh ok, thanks for making sure.
I was confused about that one.
So did you use PR to study for the test?
Do you happen to know what the curve is?
Some said it's 80/120 for a 5. So that means 60 points for MC and 60 points for Essay?
is that right?</p>
<p>"To get the states electoral votes, one has to win the popular votes of the states, hence, popular vote only matter in individual states to get the electoral votes." </p>
<p>Okay I'm so confused about the electoral college. So a candidate has to get the popular vote in a state to get all the electoral votes? But then when does the electors' votes in each state come into play?</p>
<p>The committee is not as powerful as its House counterpart, the House Committee on Rules: it does not set the terms of debate for individual legislative proposals, since the Senate has a tradition of open debate.</p>
<p>This case concerns the Smith Act, which was enacted in order to prevent the spread of Communism in the United States. This law made it a crime to plot the violent overthrow of government, even if no physical steps were taken towards that end. It was not employed until the late 1940's due to the war time alliance between the USSR and the USA. After the war, relations between the two countries quickly broke down, bringing about the feeling of an impending domestic Communist threat. Eleven Communist leaders were arrested and charged with planning the violent overthrow of our government, strictly prohibited by the Smith Act. The Communists were convicted, but they then appealed, contending the Smith Act was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the government, stating in its decision "In each case, the courts must ask whether the gravity of the 'evil' discounted by its improbability, justifies such invasion of free speech as is necessary to avoid danger."</p>
