The dual functions of members of Congress most frequently lead to conflicts between which two interests?
A. The interests of voters in a particular state and the interests of all
Americans
O B. The interests of committee members and the interests of joint
session members
C. The interests of U. S. citizens and the interests of foreign citizens
D. The interests of party leaders and the interests of party caucuses

The correct answer is A. The dual functions of members of Congress most frequently lead to conflicts between the interests of voters in a particular state and the interests of all Americans.

Explanation:

Members of Congress, whether Representatives or Senators, have the function of representing the citizens of the states in which they were elected, within the legislative structure of the federal government. Therefore, they must primarily channel the interests of the citizens of their states in Congress, with the objective of meeting their needs and achieving the greatest benefits for them.

Now, on the other hand, they are members of the very structure of the federal government and as such they must consider the interests not only of the citizens of their states, but of the entire nation, with which they must have the common good for the entire country as their objective, regardless of the interests of its states.

Thus, a duality is generated, since many times the interests of the citizens of the state they represent are contrary to the interests of the other states or the federal government itself, with which congressmen have to have the ability to balance both interests seeking achieve the best possible result.

b. the passage of the equal rights amendment  

explanation:

this mean that anything that someone else could do they could do

8 - (2a + 7) = a + 40     distribute/multiply - into (2a + 7)

8 - 2a - 7 = a + 40

1 - 2a = a + 40       add 2a on both sides

1 = 3a + 40         subtract 40 on both sides

-39 = 3a       divide 3 on both sides

-13 = a

[proof]

8 - (2a + 7) = a + 40

8 - (2(-13) + 7) = -13 + 40

8 - (-26 + 7) = 27

8 - (-19) = 27

8 + 19 = 27

27 = 27
