Answer 12

let me see

Answer 13

The citizens should have the most influence on legislation, but they do not. Although, it might be greater than you think. Neither the Senate or the House of Representatives as a whole have the most either. But rather the majority party of either house. That is to say that bills proposed by the minority party never get out of committee and never get a floor vote. On the other hand, the majority party, and the party leaders, the Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader, have the most influence on which bills come up for votes. So of the four choice you gave I would say the Speaker of the House, but also (and to a lesser extent) the Senate Majority Leader.

Answer 14

I read that but it doesn't really give me an easier understanding as to why the majority party has the most influence. I tried looking it up but that's all I came up across....
