The correct answer is citizens.

The legislature is made up of the Senate and House of Representatives. These two bodies of Congress are voted on by the citizens. Members of the House of Representative are voted on every 2 years while members of the Senate are voted on every 6 years. This gives citizens the power to vote on the people that will be responsible for making federal laws.
