How many houses comprise the legislative branch of the U.S. Government?

One
Two
Three
Four

The correct answer is: Two

The legislative branch of the U.S. Government is comprised of two houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives. This bicameral structure was established by the U.S. Constitution and is designed to ensure a system of checks and balances within the legislative process. The House of Representatives, with its members elected to represent specific districts, focuses on legislation that addresses the immediate concerns of the populace. Conversely, the Senate, with its representatives elected to represent entire states, provides a broader perspective and serves as a stabilizing force. This dual system allows for more comprehensive debate, differing viewpoints, and thorough consideration of legislation, thus functioning effectively in representing the diverse interests of the American public.
