Question

What is one way the legislative branch is kept from becoming to powerful?

a. it is divide into the house and senate
b. it is unable to finalize any laws
c. its members meet only twice a decade
d. its members can only serve for 1 year

Answer 1

The best answer is that the legislative branch is divided into the house and the senate - which means that each of the houses gets to check on the other house. So if one house does a mistake, the other can check on them. (answer a is the correct one).

The other options are false. For example, the members serve longer than 1 years and meet more often than twice a decade.
