Congress is divided into two institutions: the House of Representatives and the Senate. The two houses of Congress have equal but unique roles in the federal government. While they share legislative responsibilities, each house also has special constitutional duties and powers.

To balance the interests of both the small and large states, the Framers of the Constitution divided the power of Congress between the two houses. Every state has an equal voice in the Senate, while representation in the House of Representatives is based on the size of each state’s population.

deff fn [24]

Answer:

England

Explanation:

Martin Frobisher's sailing expedition into the waters of northern Canada was sponsored by Queen Elizabeth 1 of England. The Queen believed strongly that there was fertility in the new territory of Canada so she sent Martin Frobisher on a large expedition with about 15 vessels to establish a 100-man colony. This was Martin Frobisher's third trip or voyage to Canada and so he set sail on the 3rd of June, 1578.

He arrived at Frobisher's Bay in Canada July but could not establish a colony which Queen Elizabeth 1 asked him to due to the lack of contentment of his men so instead he he began to mine ore believing to be worth a lot. He mined about 1,350 tons of ore and took back to England. It was in England that it was discovered that the tons of ore was useless and worth nothing.

As a result of this, Martin Frobisher lost a lot of money and was financially incapacitated which made him to look for other means of employment and survival.
