Question 20d
Louisiana is, in theory, a constituent assembly split into two houses, the lower house being made up of anyone who wishes to participate. The upper house is comprised of elected individuals from their communities who hold session throughout most of the year. This has, in essence, created a class divide as the only citizen that can afford to run for the upper house are well off individuals or intellectuals with powerful benefactors.
The upper house may also veto any measure that has passed through the lower house, but this has rarely occurred as many of the "professional" lower house representatives are in the pocket of upper house political factions. The common folk don't pay much attention to political goings-on, they seem to think that they have no business commenting on the decisions of those who know more than they do (or at least appear to).
The upper house is balanced by a council of judges who are appointed every five years by the Arch Elector who is also elected every 5 years. The Arch Elector carries out the will of the houses, whilst overseeing the policies of Louisiana. There are no terms limits however.
**We have a lot of questions, so I'm not going to add to them this time around.**
Question 20 e-g:
How are the governments of California, Britain, Japan organized?
Question 23
What kinds of medical advances have been achieved, and how has this affected society?
Question 29
Who is winning the race to plunder the depths of the seas?
Question 30
Who owns Australia?
