a federal bills must be introduced in the u.s. senate.
b the u.s. house can limit time for debating a bill.
c state laws are made directly by governors.
d vetoed bills cannot be passed into law.

Explanation:

• Question 1:
• Local laws are created by local governing bodies (not state leaders), must align with both state and federal law (supremacy clause), and do not need Congress approval. City and county ordinances are local laws.
• Question 5:
• The Necessary and Proper Clause (also known as the Elastic Clause) gives Congress the power to make laws that are “necessary and proper” for carrying out its enumerated powers. Establishing a minimum wage (related to economic regulation) and the Air Force (related to military - a power related to national defense) can be seen as derived from this clause. The Supremacy Clause deals with the hierarchy of laws, the Reserved Powers Clause gives powers to the states, and the Expressed Powers Clause lists specific powers (like regulating commerce, declaring war etc., but the creation of these two policies is more about the “necessary and proper” expansion of power).
• Question 6:
• Federal bills can be introduced in either the House or the Senate. State laws are made by state legislatures (not directly by governors). Vetoed bills can be passed if Congress overrides the veto. The U.S. House has rules to limit debate (like the use of the committee of the whole and time - limiting rules), while the Senate has more freedom in debate (though there are cloture rules to end filibusters).

Answer:

• Question 1: d. They include city and county ordinances.
• Question 5: d. Necessary and proper clause
• Question 6: b. The U.S. House can limit time for debating a bill.
