We can define the reasons that why United states have a bicameral congress in historical, practical and theoretical way. If we look at the historical reason we see that the British Parliament had consisted of two houses since the 1300s, and if we see practically, the Framers had to make a two-chambered body to settle down the conflict that is between the Virginia Plan ( in this plan, there are two houses of congress and the population will determine the representation in each house) and the New Jersey Plan (in this plan there is a single house of Congress and each state would have an equal vote) <span>at Philadelphia in 1787 and theoretically the farmers preferred a bicameral congress in a way that one house of congress would have check on the other house.</span>

As the united states became bigger and more industrialized, state and federal interests became more ______.
Luden [163]

1. We are given a clear hint from the choices itself. Three out of four choices are synonyms. So, the answer must therefore be "intertwined". Due to industrialization, state and federal interests would be more closely associated because different aspects have also merged. Consequently, interests would converge.

2. This is true. The fourteenth amendment is about not depriving the country's citizens of its rights without due process. This was adopted into the US Constitution on July 9, 1868. It gives importance to rights of the citizens and the equality of law.

3. This is true. The federal system was decided upon by the founders of the state government. This is to apply checks-and-balances relationship between the national government and the individual state governments where developments are taking place.

4. The answer is confederation or confederacy. It is composed of the country's independent states. Activities involved are meetings on deciding the boundaries or limits of freedom.
