Answer:  A. The Constitution establishes the qualifications for congressional representatives, as well as specific rules for their election.

We have a two-house or "bicameral" legislature.  The number of representatives in the House of Representatives are based on each state's population size.  In the Senate, each states gets two Senators.

The bicameral legislature plan was devised at the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787.  The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size.  The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation.  The "Great Compromise" (as it became known) created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature.  Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population.  In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.  

The quoted section in the Constitution (as shown here) lays out the qualifications for House of Representatives members and rules for their election.

What were Warren G. Harding’s strengths and weaknesses as president?
ELEN [110]

Pros: Harding’s presidency was overshadowed by the criminal activities of some of his cabinet members and other government officials, although he himself was not involved in any wrongdoing. An Ohio native and Republican, Harding was a successful newspaper publisher who served in the Ohio legislature and the U.S. Senate. In 1920, he won the general election in a landslide, promising a “return to normalcy” after the hardships of World War I (1914-1918).

Cons: After Harding’s death, the Teapot Dome Scandal and other instances of corruption came to light, damaging his reputation. Pretty much his reputation got destroyed when he died.
