Answer 1

The correct answer is **Rules and procedures can have a profound influence over outcomes.**Pelosi's delay in sending the articles of impeachment to the Senate was a strategic move related to the rules and procedures governing the impeachment trial. By withholding the articles, she aimed to influence the Senate to adopt trial procedures more favorable to the prosecution's case. This highlights how seemingly procedural matters can significantly impact the outcome of important political processes. The other options are incorrect; the delay didn't necessarily reduce conflict, give senators less time to debate (once the trial started), or force the Senate to adopt House rules.
