Paul Jones Mrs. Quinn G.A.L.R.E. December 8, 2010 Unit 4 Lesson 21 Reviewing and Using the Lesson 1. In what ways does the U.S. Congress differ from British Parliament? One of the key differences is that the Prime Minister and key ministers in the UK Parliament are members of Parliament, while in the US the President and the Cabinet are in the executive branch and not in Congress. England's Parliament is elected based on proportional representation (multiples parties that have a certain # of seats based on voting numbers). 2.

"The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." inherent powers

Inherent powers are those powers that a sovereign state holds.3. Why has the creation of Congressional district been controversial throughout American history? Why did the one person, one vote rule fail to end the controversy?

Should representative be delegates of their constituents and mirror their views or be trustees who exercise their own best judgement on matters of public policy? Explain your answer.

Representatives should be delegates, not trustees. If one is well versed in political science and the political landscape, one is a place to make a better informed decision than that of the masses.
