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.

How did the slave trade change as demand for African slaves grew?​
OLEGan [10]

Explanation:

Since slave trade became high in demand (due to its immense profitability), more African Americans were taken from their homelands to be enslaved and transported to the United States. It wasn't long before owning slaves became an integrated part of society, just as owning a phone is nowadays. No one even considered the concept of "all men are equal" in the context of slaves, let alone thought of them as any more than property. As a result, the morality of free people subsided as they exploited slaves for their own financial benefit.

What was the major cause of tension between the mexican government and texas colonists?
Harlamova29_29 [7]
The major cause of  tension was the fact that the Anglo settlers didn't care much for Mexican laws or Mexican culture and just wanted to get their independence. For example, Catholicism was the only religion allowed in Mexico and they practices what they wanted. They didn't even want to learn Spanish or do anything similar.

In one paragraph, describe the Pax Romana. <br><br><br>(please help, ill give the brainliest)
elixir [45]

Answer:

The Pax Romana was established under Augustus, and for that reason it is sometimes referred to as the Pax Augusta. Augustus closed the Gates of Janus three times to signify the onset of peace: in 29 BCE, 25 BCE, and 13 BCE, likely in conjunction with the Ara Pacis ceremony. The Romans regarded peace not as an absence of war, but as the rare situation that existed when all opponents had been beaten down and lost the ability to resist. Thus, Augustus had to persuade Romans that the prosperity they could achieve in the absence of warfare was better for the Empire than the potential wealth and honor acquired when fighting a risky war. The Ara Pacis is a prime example of the propaganda Augustus employed to promote the Pax Romana, and depicts images of Roman gods and the city of Rome personified amidst wealth and prosperity.
