The legislative branch is one of three divisions of government that works in conjunction with the executive and judicial branches. Its main responsibility is the creation of laws. The United States Constitution outlines the powers of the legislative branch, Congress, which is divided into two houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives. Every state within the country has a legislative branch, which acts in a similar fashion to the federal legislative branch. Article I of the Constitution outlines the federal legislative branch.

The House of Representatives has 435 members from all 50 states. Each state's population decides how many members in the House it will receive. Members of the House serve for a two-year term and must be at least 25 years old. The Senate has 100 members with each state electing two senators apiece. Each member of the Senate must be at least 30 years old.

Each of the 50 states also has legislative branches that create legislation and consider legislation introduced by the state's governor. Forty-nine states have a bicameral (two-house) legislature that is similar to the federal legislature. All of these states refer to their upper house as the Senate, while some states refer to their lower house as either the House of Representatives or the Assembly. Nebraska is the only state that has a unicameral (one-house) legislature.

Which of these was NOT a condition of the Missouri Compromise?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:The provisions of the Missouri Compromise stated in part that Missouri would be admitted to the Union as a slave state.

Explanation:

The Missouri Compromise was a decision made in the United States in 1819 to admit the states of Missouri and Maine as members of the Union.

In 1819, the admission of the state of Missouri to the United States was on the agenda of the Senate. As there were equal numbers of representatives of slave and free states in the Senate, it was decided to reach a compromise in order to maintain the balance: two states were going to be adopted at the same time, one free and the other slave. In addition to slave Missouri, Maine, which did not allow slavery, became a member of the United States. The demarcation line for slavery was also determined, as slavery would be allowed only south of the 36º 30' north latitude (plus the state of Missouri, which was north of it).

How did the Missouri Compromise Contribute to the Civil War? (Brainliest Answer Pick Every Hour.)
NikAS [45]

It was meant to create balance between the slave and non-slave states, but it also equally divided the free and slave states. Thomas Jefferson believed that dividing the country this way would lead to the Civil War, and he was right.
