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.

How did the steamboat impact society?
lina2011 [118]

The steamboat changed the way of living of people and greatly affected the Industrial Revolution. It became the main mode for the transportation of goods and products in the 1800s. The efficiency of doing so would have been impossible without the steamboat. It increased the capabilities of commercial trading thus, leading to the creation of new towns and the stimulation of the economy. Steamboats increased the dependency to manufactured products because the speed of transportation became faster than the standard speed. Steamboats played a vital role in the supply and demand chain.

Hope this helps.
