Sascha: The attempt to ban parliament's right to pass directed-spending bills—bills that contain provisions specifically funding the favorite projects of some powerful politicians—is antidemocratic. Our nation's constitution requires that money be drawn from our treasury only when so stipulated by laws passed by parliament, the branch of government most directly representative of the citizens.This requirement is based on the belief that exercising the power to spend public resources involves the ultimate exercise of state authority and that therefore_________.
Which of the following most logically completes Sascha's argument?
designating funding specifically for the favorite projects of some powerful politicians should be considered antidemocratic
the right to exercise such a power should belong exclusively to the branch of government most directly representative of the citizens
exercising the power to spend public resources is in most cases—but not all—protected by the constitution
modifications to any spending bills should be considered expenditures authorized by law
only officials who are motivated by concerns for reelection should retain that power
conclusion: 禁止国会通过bill的做法是反民主的。
因为宪法要求只有国会(市民的直接代表)通过的法律明确要求,钱才能从国库中提取。这又是因为行使公众资源的权利涉及行使到州的权利,因此
应该在市民的直接代表和行使州的权利之间搭桥
谢谢!
