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.

Inessa05 [86]
The Bosphorus connects the Black Sea from the Sea of Marmara. Istanbul (Constantinople) is located on the Bosphorus. The cities location and control has led to its rise in riches and importance. The Dardanelles connects the Sea of Marmara to the Aegean and Mediterranean. The ancient city of Troy was located near this. Control of the strait had led to the city becoming extremely wealthy.
