To determine the correct answer to both questions, let's break down the options and analyze them one by one.
10.) Which committee is NOT paired correctly with its responsibility?
A. Interim committee - work between legislative sessions
B. Conference committee - work to reconcile two different bills
C. Standing committee - permanent committees that work on specific issues
D. Joint committees - contains members from all three branches of government
To answer this question, we need to understand the responsibilities of different types of committees:
- An interim committee is indeed responsible for working between legislative sessions, so option A is correctly paired.
- A conference committee is responsible for reconciling two different bills passed by different chambers of the legislature, so option B is correctly paired.
- A standing committee is a permanent committee that works on specific issues, so option C is also correctly paired.
- Joint committees typically contain members from both chambers of the legislature, but they don't usually include members from all three branches of government. Therefore, option D is NOT paired correctly with its responsibility.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D. (interim committee)
5.) Which statement BEST describes a principle shared in the preambles of the constitutions of the United States and Georgia?
A. Government originates from the people
B. Government offers peace and prosperity
C. Government helps all of its people
D. Government supports the common interest of the people
To answer this question, we need to analyze the preambles of the United States Constitution and the Georgia Constitution:
In the preamble of the United States Constitution, it clearly states that the government is established to "secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity." This emphasizes the common interest of the people and the pursuit of their well-being. Therefore, option D (Government supports the common interest of the people) is the principle shared in the preamble of the United States Constitution.
Similarly, in the preamble of the Georgia Constitution, it highlights the establishment of government "to protect and perpetuate the free-enterprise system." This also captures the idea of supporting the common interest of the people. Therefore, the same principle applies to the preamble of the Georgia Constitution.
Hence, the correct answer is option D. (Government supports the common interest of the people).
