Which of the following is a benefit of having selectmen in a town or village?

The correct answer is "D: Selectmen carryout the day-to-day operations of a town, which serves as an organized way of dealing with local issues between town meetings."

A board of selectmen is known as the executive arm of government within the towns of the states who conform to New England. Traditionally, the adult voting population of these towns would gather once a year in order to approve budgets and laws. However, as the population in the towns grew, it became increasingly difficult to perform this task. As a response to this, boards of selectmen were established in order for them to run the day to day operations of managing the towns.

on 6 november american voters will elect members of the house of representatives and the senate, which together are called congress.

both houses of congress are currently controlled by the republican party, which backs president donald trump.

the democrats think they can win control of the house of representatives this year by winning a majority of seats.

doing so would let them block or delay the president’s plans by refusing to enact them.

all 435 seats in the house of representatives are up for election.

if the democrats want to take control of the house by having the most seats, they’re going to have to claim at least 23 from the republicans.
