for approval most states require a majority vote in favor of a bill. if the bill is approved by that house, then it is sent to the other house of the legislature for consideration. the same steps for making amendments or changes are followed in the other house. if the bill is also approved by the second house of the legislature, it is sent to the governor for approval or veto. if the governor approves the bill, it becomes law. if the governor vetoes it, the bill may return to the legislature for more work. if the legislature still thinks the bill is good, members of the lawmaking body can override the governor’s veto by a certain vote, and the bill will still become law. in most states a two - thirds vote in favor of the bill is needed to override the veto. this is the same power that congress has when the president vetoes a bill. section 5 review on a separate sheet of paper, write the answer for each question. 1) how many houses make up the legislature in most of the states? 2) which state has a one - house legislature? 3) how are the members of the legislature chosen? 4) how often do most state legislatures meet? 5) what is the name of a small group of legislators who work on a special issue? what do you think? do you think the power for the legislature to override a governor’s veto is a good power? explain your answer.

### "What do you think" Question:
# Brief Explanations:
- **Yes perspective**: It is a good power because it provides a system of checks and balances. If a governor vetoes a bill that has broad support in the legislature (shown by the ability to get a two - thirds vote to override), the legislature can still pass the bill into law. This prevents a single person (the governor) from unilaterally stopping legislation that the elected representatives of the people (legislators) believe is beneficial. It ensures that power is not concentrated in one branch and that the will of the legislative body, which represents multiple districts and a broader range of interests, can be upheld.
- **No perspective (less common but valid)**: Some might argue that it can lead to gridlock or that the governor, as the executive, has a different perspective on what is best for the state, and overriding the veto might go against the executive's ability to manage the state effectively. However, the checks - and - balances argument is more widely accepted as a positive for this power.
# Answer:
(Example with "Yes" perspective) Yes, the power for the legislature to override a governor’s veto is a good power. It serves as a check on the governor's power, ensuring that if a bill has significant support in the legislature (evidenced by the ability to get the required override vote, like a two - thirds majority in most states), it can still become law. This prevents a single individual (the governor) from unilaterally blocking legislation that the elected representatives of the people believe is in the public interest, thus maintaining a system of checks and balances in the state's government.
