Correct answer choice is :
A) House of Representatives.
Explanation:
The United States House of Representatives is the lower chamber of the United States Congress, the Legislature being the upper chamber. Collectively they constitute the legislature of the United States. Democrats hold 194 of 435 seats, short of the 218 they want to recover control. Let's look at the scale of power in the House, serving each district as a dot. Democrats need to take at least 24 seats from Conservative to recover the majority.
The U.S. Constitution differentiated the U.S. from other governments by establishing checks and balances dividing power among three branches, and guaranteeing fundamental rights to citizens.
The U.S. Constitution made the United States different from other governments in several significant ways. Primary among these is its establishing the notion of checks and balances
in which power is divided among three separate branches of government: the legislative, the executive, and the judicial. Each branch has its own distinct powers, and can also check the powers of the other branches, to prevent any single branch from becoming too powerful. In addition, the U.S. Constitution guarantees
certain fundamental rights
to citizens, such as freedom of speech and religion, that weren't universally guaranteed in other governments at that time.

(1) desire of corporations to reduce their taxes
(2) need to raise income from the lower classes
(3) belief that all people should be taxed the
same
(4) resentment over the unequal distribution of
wealth
During the Progressive Era, the endorsement for a graduated income tax was mainly due to the resentment over the unequal distribution of wealth. Essentially, people thought those who earn more should also contribute more tax, helping to create a fairer system especially for the lower and middle classes.
During the Progressive Era, the support for a graduated income tax was primarily based on the resentment over the unequal distribution of wealth (option 4). Supporters of this tax system believed that those who earned more should pay more. The graduated income tax system was thought to be a method to reduce the wealth disparity and make the tax system fairer for all, particularly for the lower and middle classes. It was not about reducing taxes for corporations, targeting the lower classes, or a belief that all people should be taxed the same. This period was characterized by efforts to deal with the detrimental social and economic effects of industrialization in the US, and a prime concern in this regard was fixing the wealth inequality.

What is most significant about this quote by Raphael Lemkin?
Raphael Lemkin’s definition was the accepted version out of many.
Raphael Lemkin’s definition was not accepted until after the Holocaust.
Raphael Lemkin spoke these words on his death bed.
Raphael Lemkin spoke these words to the United Nations in 1945.
2. On December 9, 1948, in the shadow of the Holocaust and in no small part due to the tireless efforts of Lemkin himself, the United Nations approved the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. This convention establishes "genocide” as an international crime, which signatory nations “undertake to prevent and punish.” It defines genocide as:
Genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
Killing members of the group;
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group
Answers to #1:
Raphael Lemkin's definition of genocide was not accepted until after the Holocaust.
Raphael Lemkin had been studying the problem of mass killings of a people group since the 1920s, in regard to Turkish slaughter of Armenians in 1915. He coined the term "genocide" in 1944, in reference then also to the Holocaust. The term uses Greek language roots and means "killing of a race" of people. Lemkin served as an advisor to Justice Robert Jackson, the lead prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials. "Crimes against humanity" was the charge used at the Nuremberg trials, since no international legal definition of "genocide" had yet been accepted. Ultimately, Lemkin was able to persuade the United Nations to accept the definition of genocide and codify it into international law. In December, 1948, the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which made use of a number of Lemkin's ideas on the subject.
#2: For item #2, you didn't ask a question, so I won't attempt to guess at what question you might have in mind. The definition as you quote it comes from Article II of the UN's Genocide Convention. Article III also indicts intention and conspiracy to commit genocide as crimes against international law. Article IV of that same Convention then puts teeth into the UN's action, saying, "Persons committing genocide or any of the other acts enumerated in article III shall be punished, whether they are constitutionally responsible rulers, public officials or private individuals."
