Congress

[Carp]

Last week, you had the opportunity to draft a bill and follow it through the process of becoming law.  For this week's Google Group, consider this:

If the House of Representatives were abolished and the Senate was left as our only lawmaking body, would our government be less democratic?

Be sure to explain your answer with details.

[joe reeves]

Yes it would be less Democratic, Because if it passed threw senate and the president veto's it.. It can still be passed by the Senate.

[joe reeves]

I agree with you Joe you have an great point.

[Raenesha Reynolds]

Yes it would because there would not be as many people in the law making process!

[Raenesha Reynolds]

[marvin flowers]

yes because it can pass threw senate

[Ashlee ryals]

yes because i think the senate would still pass the laws

[demarr leonard]

I don't think it would because I don't think we need two processes to make laws its too much.

[demarr leonard]

I kinda agree with Ashlee it shouldn't take two parts of the house to pass a law.

[joe reeves]

I agree Raenesha it would be less people to vote

[Darnel Dubose]

Without the House of Representatives our government wouldn't accomplish the fundamentals of democracy because smaller states would be treated the same as larger states some areas of states wouldn't be represented, and there would be no Congressional body to check the Senate.

[ryan thomas]

No it wouldn't be less democrats because the republicans will try to pass threw the senate too

[ryan thomas]

I agree with Demarr it would have two processes

[Armani Thomas]

Yes, because it would be a one way pass through congress. if it was to be vetoed by the president it would just go back to the senate and they like the bill they can keep on passing it as many times till it passes which means it can be an ongoing process

[sharniece jelks]

I think it would be less Democratic because as you said in class yesterday the house is now Democrats and the Senate is Republican if we no longer had the house to consider and pass laws it would be less Democratic

[sharniece jelks]

I agree with Raenesha it would be less people

[zerek brown]

yes it would be less democratic because it can still be passed by the senate.

[zerek brown]

i agree with raenesha an joe.

[Dayshe Hardy]

yes it would b less democratic and the senate would still b passing the laws

 

 

[Dayshe Hardy]

i agree with you ashlee

 

[marvin flowers]

yes because it can passed threw a senate

[marvin flowers]

i agree with you joe because if it dont passed threw the senate then there would not be alot of democratic right

[Ashlee ryals]

yea i was thinking that too marvin i agree with joe on that as while

[Jerome Sawyer]

I agree Ashlee! The laws still are going to get passes somehow

[James Gibson]

i agree wit joe because the senate would have more control over the laws and do whatever they choose.

[Darnel Dubose]

I agree with you Marvin either it goes the Senate still have the control to do whatever they want
