In a bicameral Congress, what are the two houses?

• A. President and Vice President
• B. Senate and House of Representatives
• C. House of Lords and House of Commons
• D. Governor and Legislature

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is that a bicameral legislature has two chambers that together make up the lawmaking body. In the United States Congress, those two chambers are the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate gives equal representation to each state with two senators per state, while the House is based on population, so more populous states have more representatives. This setup helps balance power between states of different sizes and shapes how each chamber operates. The Senate and House also have different traditional roles, such as the House handling revenue-related bills and impeachment, while the Senate confirms appointments and ratifies treaties. The other options refer to different parts of government in other countries or levels (executive branch, the UK Parliament, or a state government), not the two houses of the federal Congress.
