Each bill goes through several stages in each house including consideration by a committee and advice from the Government Accountability Office. Most legislation is considered by standing committees which have jurisdiction over a particular subject such as Agriculture or Appropriations the House has twenty standing committees; the Senate has sixteen Standing committees meet at least once each month. Almost all standing committee meetings for transacting business must be open to the public unless the committee votes publicly to close the meeting a committee might call for public hearings on important bills. Each committee is led by a chair who belongs to the majority party and a ranking member of the minority party Witnesses and experts can present their case for or against a bill. Then a bill may go to what is called a mark-up session where committee members debate the bill's merits and may offer amendments or revisions. Committees may also amend the bill but the full house holds the power to accept or reject committee amendments After debate the committee votes whether it wishes to report the measure to the full house If a bill is tabled then it is rejected If amendments are extensive sometimes a new bill with amendments built in will be submitted as a so-called clean bill with a new number. Both houses have procedures under which committees can be bypassed or overruled but they are rarely used Generally members who have been in Congress longer have greater seniority and therefore greater power, 1.3 Retrocession and the Civil War. Washington was a talented equestrian early in life He collected thoroughbreds at Mount Vernon and his two favorite horses were Blueskin and Nelson.

Stephen Hopkins Rhode Island 2 Yes Yes 3.1 Post-constitution life Through the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 under the Congress of the Confederation slavery was prohibited in the territories northwest of the Ohio River; existing slaves were not freed for years although they could no longer be sold This was a compromise Thomas Jefferson proposed in 1784 to end slavery in all the territories but his bill lost in the Congress by one vote the territories south of the Ohio River (and Missouri) had authorized slavery. Northerners predominated in the westward movement into the Midwestern territory after the American Revolution; as the states were organized they voted to prohibit slavery in their constitutions when they achieved statehood: Ohio in 1803 Indiana in 1816 and Illinois in 1818 What developed was a Northern block of free states united into one contiguous geographic area that generally shared an anti-slavery culture the exceptions were the areas along the Ohio River settled by Southerners the southern portions of states such as Indiana Ohio and Illinois Residents of those areas generally shared in Southern culture and attitudes in addition these areas were devoted to agriculture longer than the industrializing northern parts of these states and some farmers used slave labor the emancipation of slaves in the North led to the growth in the population of northern free blacks from several hundred in the 1770s to nearly 50,000 by 1810. Pause at Puebla Liberalism Though in reviewing the incidents of my Administration I am unconscious of intentional error I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors Whatever they may be I fervently beseech the Almighty to avert or mitigate the evils to which they may tend I shall also carry with me the hope that my country will never cease to view them with indulgence and that after forty-five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal the faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion as myself must soon be to the mansions of rest, Proposals in 1846 to 1850 on the division of the Southwest included the following (some of which are not mutually exclusive):. The founding fathers were not unified on the issue of slavery in her study of Thomas Jefferson historian Annette Gordon-Reed discusses this topic "Others of the founders held slaves but no other founder drafted the charter for freedom" in addition to Jefferson George Washington John Jay and many other of the Founding Fathers practiced slavery but were also conflicted by the institution which many saw as immoral and politically divisive. Conversely many founders such as Samuel Adams and John Adams were against slavery their entire lives Benjamin Rush wrote a pamphlet in 1773 which harshly condemned slavery and beseeched the colonists to petition the king and put an end to the British African Company of Merchants which kept slavery and the slave trade going the Continental Association of 1774 contains a clause severely limiting the slave trade as part of the general boycott of British trade, Major airports Maj Gen The invention of the cotton gin in 1793 enabled the cultivation of short-staple cotton in a wide variety of mainland areas leading to the development of large areas of the Deep South as cotton country in the 19th century Rice cultivation and tobacco were very labor-intensive in 1720 about 65% of South Carolina's population was enslaved. Planters (defined by historians in the Upper South as those who held 20 enslaved people or more) used enslaved workers to cultivate commodity crops They also worked in the artisanal trades on large plantations and in many southern port cities Backwoods subsistence farmers the later wave of settlers in the 18th century who settled along the Appalachian Mountains and backcountry seldom held enslaved people.

. Public perceptions of Congress, Subsequent English governments continued in their efforts to tax certain goods passing acts regulating the trade of wool, hats and molasses the Molasses Act of 1733 in particular was egregious to the colonists as a significant part of colonial trade relied on the product the taxes severely damaged the New England economy and the taxes were rarely paid resulting in a surge of smuggling bribery and intimidation of customs officials. Colonial wars fought in America were often the source of considerable tension the British captured the fortress of Louisbourg during the War of the Austrian Succession but then ceded it back to France in 1748 New England colonists resented their losses of lives as well as the effort and expenditure involved in subduing the fortress only to have it returned to their erstwhile enemy; ; A few Founding Fathers lived into their nineties including: Paine Wingate who died at age 98; Charles Carroll of Carrollton who died at age 95; Charles Thomson who died at 94; William Samuel Johnson who died at 92; and John Adams who died at 90 Among those who lived into their eighties were Benjamin Franklin Samuel Whittmore John Jay Thomas Jefferson James Madison John Armstrong Jr Hugh Williamson and George Wythe Approximately 16 died while in their seventies and 21 in their sixties Three (Alexander Hamilton Richard Dobbs Spaight and Button Gwinnett) were killed in duels Two John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on the same day July 4 1826, The traditional constraints gave way to more liberal conditions for women Patriarchy faded as an ideal; young people had more freedom to choose their spouses and more often used birth control to regulate the size of their families Society emphasized the role of mothers in child rearing especially the patriotic goal of raising republican children rather than those locked into aristocratic value systems There was more permissiveness in child-rearing Patriot women married to Loyalists who left the state could get a divorce and obtain control of the ex-husband's property. Whatever gains they had made however women still found themselves subordinated legally and socially to their husbands disfranchised and usually with only the role of mother open to them But some women earned livelihoods as midwives and in other roles in the community which were not originally recognized as significant by men. 4.1 Committee assignments The Amistad Aside from the disposition of the territories other issues had risen to prominence during the Taylor years the Washington D.C slave trade angered many in the North who viewed the presence of slavery in the capital as a blemish on the nation Disputes around fugitive slaves had grown since 1830 in part due to improving means of transportation as escaped slaves used roads railroads and ships to escape the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793 had granted jurisdiction to all state and federal judges over cases regarding fugitive slaves but several Northern states dissatisfied by the lack of due process in these cases had passed personal liberty laws that made it more difficult to return alleged fugitive slaves to the South. Congress also faced the issue of Utah which like California and New Mexico had been ceded by Mexico Utah was inhabited largely by Mormons whose practice of polygamy was unpopular in the United States.
