anonymous · Answer

What do you think the answer choice should be

uglyturtle · Answer

It would seem to me D. the law as stated in the constitution.

anonymous · Answer

Hmmm... this is a tricky one

uglyturtle · Answer

Indeed. I guess we need to use process of elimination.

uglyturtle · Answer

Okay so we have established that it is not C because Congress acts in the Federal Government not the state government.

anonymous · Answer

yes so c is wrong i put that the first time and i would eliminate b as well

uglyturtle · Answer

So that leaves A and D. A seems like a maybe statement while D seems more definite.

anonymous · Answer

can  you review the assesment

uglyturtle · Answer

Yes let's go over this in more detail.

uglyturtle · Answer

What factor can limit the level of congressional pay?
A. fear of election day 
B. the amount of additional income a person might have
C. state election requirements
D. the law as stated in the constitution

uglyturtle · Answer

A) The fear of election day does not seem to limit the level of congressional pay because some congressional members may not feel such fear and since fear is an emotion I do not see how this will influence the overall level of Congressional pay.

anonymous · Answer

@UglyTurtle I'd agree

uglyturtle · Answer

B) The amount of additional income a person might have does not seem to be a factor since  this also varies by person and does not seem to be a factor in the overall Congressional pay. Plus this type of income seems to apply more so to taxes than pay.

uglyturtle · Answer

C) We have already established that Congress is subject to Federal Law not State Law.

uglyturtle · Answer

D)   The Constitution IS the basic law of the United States of America and thus if something is in violation of the Constitution (such as Congressional pay) this is a definite factor that can limit Congressional pay.

anonymous · Answer

I'm gonna go with D as my answer I'll let you guys know what was the right answer when I'm done : ) Thanks !

uglyturtle · Answer

Most of these answers seem to be likely answers but D is the most definite.
