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 Americans disagree over the role of the federal and state governments before and after the during the civil war?
romanna [79]
From what I can remember, states' rights was a large factor contributing to the Civil War. With Lincoln becoming president and representing the North, the Southern states seceded, leading to a war. The state governments of the South argued that since the Constitution and federal government was created by the states, the federal government had no right to stop states from seceding. President Lincoln and other northerners disagreed and wanted to preserve the Union by stopping states from seceding.
After the war, I believe the South still disagreed on a strong federal government. They wanted to rule the area by themselves.
