Answer 1

Answer:

B. The amended bill must go back to the House of Representatives for a new vote of approval.

Explanation:

A bicameral legislature can be defined as a legislative body that comprises of two chambers or houses; upper house and lower house. The upper chamber or house consists of senators while the lower chamber consists of house of representatives.

Generally, the type of government in which legislators such as senators or house of representative members are found is known as a democracy. Democracy refers to a government of the people, by the people and for the people.

The primary function of these legislators is to make (enact) laws and amend (ratify) bills. This is why they're usually referred to as the legislative arm of government (legislature). In addition to making laws, legislators are saddled with the responsibility of confirming any appointment made by the president that requires consent and the ratification of treaties.

In this scenario, a bill passes the House of Representatives and is sent to the Senate. The Senate also passes the bill, but with a series of minor changes from the original version sent over from the House of Representatives. Therefore, the next step for the bill before it becomes law is that, the amended bill must go back to the House of Representatives for a new vote of approval.

Lastly, the bill is sent to the President who then signs it into law.
