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 statements are examples of Charlemagne’s achievements?
Butoxors [25]

Answer: Was crowned pope on Christmas Day, A.D. 800 / united a vast realm under the Christian faith.

Explanation:

Some historians consider Charlemagne to be one of the most significant figures of medieval Europe. Due to his military and political influences, he became the most influential figure in Western Europe. In so doing, the term "Christian Empire" he uses has become synonymous with the entire Christian West, in opposition to the Byzantine Empire. By his coronation, Charlemagne became the patron saint of the whole Christian West and the papacy. Its impact is enormous in all fields of life. His inauguration was boycotted by Byzantium, leading to war. The war ended in Aachen in 812, and Byzantium thus had to acknowledge Charles's imperial rule.
