Which organization best completes the diagram showing the structure of the legislative branch of the US government?

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

The options for this question are:

A) Congress

B) Select comittee

C) Party Caucus

D) Legislative district

The correct answer is A.

The House of Representatives and the Senate make up Congress. Congress is a bicameral body that forms the legislative branch of the US government.

The House of Representatives is made up of 435 representatives and the Senate is made up of 100 representatives.

This bicameral organization originated in the Connecticut Compromise during the Constitutional Convention (1787) to resolve the problem of representation in Congress. This was made to balance the tensions in representation caused by different numbers in population and different economic powers of the states.
