And here is your Shmoop du jour brought to you grudgingly

00:06

by the US Congress it took them about three weeks to vote it through however.

00:28

And we're done. Passage 2's attitude toward the government

00:33

is one of ...what?

00:34

Here are the potential answers. Pause waiver and let's go.

00:38

Alright here's the thing the author of passage 2 is not what anyone would call

00:42

the government's number one fan this makes choice

00:46
