Article I: Congress

Question 5 • Fall 24 American Government/Civics IC

Which statement about Congress is accurate?

Answer
I
It contains only the House of Representatives.
T
The Senate’s membership is based on a state’s population.
I
It is bicameral, according to the Constitution.
M
Membership in both houses is based on equal representation.

Explanation

The Constitution establishes Congress as bicameral, meaning it has two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House’s membership is based on each state’s population, while every state has equal representation in the Senate. So Congress is not limited to the House, and equal representation does not apply to both houses.
