Answer: The Framers of the Constitution gave the President the power to veto acts of Congress to prevent the legislative branch from becoming too powerful. This is an illustration of the separation of powers integral to the U.S. Constitution. By separating the powers of government into three branches and creating a system of “checks and balances” between them, the Framers hoped to prevent the misuse or abuse of power. The veto allows the President to “check” the legislature by reviewing acts passed by Congress and blocking measures he finds unconstitutional, unjust, or unwise. Congress’s power to override the President’s veto forms a “balance” between the branches on the lawmaking power.
The veto power does not give the President the power to amend or alter the content of legislation—the President only has the ability to accept or reject an entire act passed by Congress. The President, however, can influence and shape legislation by a threat of a veto. By threatening a veto, the President can persuade legislators to alter the content of the bill to be more acceptable to the President.
Congress can override a veto by passing the act by a two-thirds vote in both the House and the Senate. (Usually an act is passed with a simple majority.) This check prevents the President from blocking an act when significant support for it exists. Two-thirds is a high standard to meet— broad support for an act is needed to reach this threshold. The President’s veto power is significant because Congress rarely overrides vetoes—out of 1,484 regular vetoes since 1789, only 7.1%, or 106, have been overridden.1
If the President does not sign the bill within ten days it becomes law unless Congress has adjourned. If Congress adjourns before the President has signed the bill and the President does not want the bill to pass the President may simply fail to sign the bill. When this happens the bill does not become law (it is essentially vetoed). This is referred to as a “pocket veto.”

Explanation:
What were the incentives that Stephen Austin gave the Anglo settlers of Texas?
Please helpppppppp
Answer:
They had to be Catholics and of good morals.
Explanation:
Moses and Stephen Austin contracted to bring "500 families on the vacant lands remaining within the limits of the colony already established." The contract stipulates that "The families which are to compose this Colony besides being industrious as he offers in his petition must be Catholics, and of good morals." Stephen Austin established dozens of communities and brought thousands of settlers into the Mexican province of Texas.
Answer:
Stephen F. Austin met with the governor of Mexico in August 1821. The two established the terms of Austin’s settlement. Acreage would be distributed to the heads of the household according to the number of household members. A male head of the family would receive 640 acres. He would get an additional 320 acres for his wife and 160 acres for each of his children. He would receive 80 acres for each enslaved person he brought. Austin would be paid a fee by the colonists for his service. Mexico became independent from Spain later that year. The new Mexican government refused to abide by the original terms.

TELL-TALE heart what does the narrator hear at the end of the story that causes him to confess to the murder
Answer:
he hears the heart of his victim beating through the floor
Explanation:
Answer The heart of the dead body he killed
Explanation:
It is hearing the "tell-tale heart" because of his acute hearing that forces the narrator to confess his deed as he remains unable to ignore the loudening sound of his own guilt and crime. Perhaps we can infer that what he is symbolically hearing is his own conscience, forcing him to face the consequences of his actions, as it is only the narrator that hears this sound. Either way, it is this sound that forces him to confess, shouting, "It is the beating of his hideous heart!"

Federalism is very necessary in maintaining one system that allows for citizens to participate in his or her's government. This creates more power in the citizens' hands to influence policies that they can agree on so that power is shared.
Explanation:
.What was the primary reason “Starving Time” occurred in Jamestown during the winter of 1609-1610
Answer:
Explanation:
“The starving time” was the winter of 1609-1610, when food shortages, fractured leadership, and a siege by Powhatan Indian warriors killed two of every three colonists at James Fort. From its beginning, the colony struggled to maintaining a food supply. Trade relations with the Virginia Indian tribes were strained because a severe seven-year drought stressed food supplies for everyone in the region. Captain John Smith had some success trading European goods for corn in the first two years of the settlement, but his strongarm tactics also angered the tribal communities.
Aware of the food shortages, the Virginia Company sent a fleet of nine ships in July 1609 with new colonists and enough supplies to last through the winter. But the fleet was scattered and damaged by a hurricane. The largest ship, the Sea Venture, was shipwrecked on the Island of Bermuda with much of the supplies and leaders such as Captain Christopher Newport, Sir George Somers, and Sir Thomas Gates. In mid-August some of the ships arrived at Jamestown with 300 colonists and few supplies.
Smith was badly injured by a mysterious gunpowder explosion and forced to return to England in October. George Percy became President of the Council and faced the lethal combination of dwindling food supplies and an order by Chief Powhatan that his warriors should attack any colonists or livestock found outside the fort. Percy later wrote that “Indians killed as fast without [the fort] as Famine and Pestilence did within.” Percy calculated that meager rations of half a can of meal a day would get them only halfway through the winter. He wrote that to satisfy their “Crewell hunger,” some went into the woods looking for “Serpents and snakes, and to digge the earthe for wylde and unknowne Rootes,” but those people “weare Cutt off and slayne by the Salvages.”
Starvation weakened the colonists and led to sicknesses such as dysentery and typhoid. The colonists ate shoe leather and butchered seven horses brought from England the summer before on the ill-fated fleet. Percy wrote, “Then, having fed upon horses and other beasts as long as they lasted, we were glad to make shift with vermin, as dogs, cats and mice.” There were charges of cannibalism: Starving settlers dug up “dead corpses outt of graves” to eat them, and others “Licked upp the Bloode which ha[d] fallen from their weake fellowes.”Jamestown Rediscovery archaeologists in 2012 uncovered the first forensic evidence of survival cannibalism in a European colony in North America.
The Sea Venture survivors arrived from Bermuda in May 1610 to find only 60 colonists still alive in the fort. Thomas Gates realized there would be further starvation within a few weeks; on June 7, 1610, he announced the colonists would abandon Jamestown and sail for England. But their path home was blocked by the arriving ship of the new governor of the colony, Lord De la Warr, who insisted they return and rebuild Jamestown

What are the differences of Terrace farming and Polders and the similarities?
Answer:
Terrace farming is done in the hilly region and Polders in sea level.
Explanation:
Terrace farming helps farmers to grow crops on one side of hills or mountains by planting on in the slope with prevented the erosion of soil. It also reflected upon the skill of people who did farming in hilly areas where they could save water and soil erosion. For example, in Japan, rice (paddy) cultivation is well-known in the mountainous region.
Polder is a plot of low land recovered from water especially, sea or river and protected by barriers. Once the blocks placed, people began draining wetlands for agricultural use. Removing water performed with the help of windmills. This practice originated in the Netherlands as it controls floods and provides land for cultivating.
One of the similarity is that the cultivation of crops in both region require wetland. No soil erosion as people is careful with their practice of cultivation in mountainous and low land regions.

Youngsters rejected moral standards. Women were challenging the traditional old morals and behaviours that they were allowed to follow in society. Women's fashion became much more daring, with a shorter and lighter dress. The innovations that made the Roaring Twenties in America possible were the automobile, the assembly line, the aeroplane, the radio, instant camera, the washing machine, jukebox, television, refrigerator, and an electric razor.

The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries…, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States… In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
You forgot to include the question. Here we just have an affirmation. You also forgot to include the options for this question.
However, doing some research we can say that the question is "These lines from the Declaration of Independence are an example of the use of_____."
If that is the case, then the correct answer is "Ethos."
These lines from the Declaration of Independence are an example of the use of Ethos.
Thomas Jefferson, one of the most important drafters of the Declaration of Independence, used ethos, his reputation, experience, and influence to convince the audience because he tried to appeal to his character to convince the readers.
The other four writers of the Declaration of Independence were Benjamin Franklin, Robert Livingston, Roger Sherman, and John Adams.
