Committees are an essential part of the legislative process. Senate committees monitor on-going governmental operations, identify issues suitable for legislative review, gather and evaluate information, and recommend courses of action to the Senate.
Joint committees include members from both houses of Congress, Parliament, or any ruling body. They focus on a particular issue, such as economics or taxation. They enhance communication between the two bodies. The committee's leadership usually alternates between the two bodies, as well.[tex]Hope \: it \: helps \: (◕ᴥ◕)[/tex]Compare maps of the world in ancient times with current political maps.

Explanation:
“Let us now proceed to enquire, as I at first proposed, whether it be best the thirteen United States should be reduced to one great republic, or not? It is here taken for granted, that all agree in this, that whatever government we adopt, it ought to be a free one; that it should be so framed as to secure the liberty of the citizens of America, and such an one as to admit of a full, fair, and equal representation of the people. The question then will be, whether a government thus constituted, and founded on such principles, is practicable, and can be exercised over the whole United States,
reduced into one state?...
In a free republic, although all laws are derived from the consent of the people, yet the people do not declare their consent by themselves in person, but by representatives, chosen by them, who are 2 supposed to know the minds of their constituents, and to be possessed of integrity to declare this mind....
The territory of the United States is of vast extent; it now contains near three millions of souls, and is capable of containing much more than ten times that number. Is it practicable for a country, so large and so numerous as they will soon become, to elect a representation, that will speak their sentiments, without their becoming so numerous as to be incapable of transacting public business? It certainly is not….
The laws cannot be executed in a republic, of an extent equal to that of the United States, with promptitude [act without delay].

Lewis and Clark Journal entries
Instructions: Below you will read a journal entry made from the lewis and Clark expedition. After reading the entry you will answer questions about the entry. Make sure to answer the question fully and with complete sentences
Lewis & Clark Written Primary Source Activity One of the major objectives of the Corps of Discovery expedition was to take a census of the fauna and flora in the Louisiana Territory. Other major objectives were to map the territory and to befriend the Native Americans who lived there.
President Jefferson encouraged Lewis and Clark to keep detailed journals of what they saw and experienced on their journey. In addition, they were encouraged to return home with animal, plant, and mineral specimens.
Here are several journal entries for you to read and discuss
Capt. Lewis, May 29, 1805--Last night we were all allarmed by a large buffaloe Bull, which swam over from the opposite shore and coming along side of the white perogue, climbed over it to land, he then allarmed ran up the bank in full speed directly towards the fires and was within 18 inches of the heads of some of the men who lay sleeping before the centinel could allarm him or make him change his course, still more alarmed, he now took his direction immediately towards our lodge, passing between 4 fires and within a few inches of the heads of one range of the men as they yet lay sleeping, when he came near the tent, my dog saved us by causing him to change his course a second time, which he did by turning a little to the right, and was quickly out of sight, leaving us by this time all in an uproar with our guns in o[u]r hands, enquiring of each other the ca[u]se of the alarm, after which after a few moments was explained by the centinel; we were happy to find no one hirt.
Questions: (I need help with/me)
Based on the entries, what was the trip like? Was it very dangerous or not? Give me some supporting details on why you believe this? Make sure to write in complete sentences
Answer:
Lewis and Clark were traversing uncharted territories, so naturally, they had no idea what to prepare for or what to even expect.
Explanation: As it mentioned, Lewis and Clark were told to keep a detailed journal of their encounters, explaining every detail of what they experienced on the journey. This specific entry is a perfect example of some of the hardships that they had to face. The writer mentions a crazed wild Buffalo that charges towards their men as they slept at night. If it weren't for the dog who had been keeping watch at the time, the Buffalo wouldve caused serious damage to their expedition. Most of the things that these men had to face were hard and dangerous, and the Buffalo charging towards them in the late night wasn't even half of it.
