Question

Which of the following was NOT established in Article I of the Constitution?

A. It vested the power to execute laws in a congress
B. It created a bicameral Legislature
C. It set qualifications for holding office in each house
D. It enumerated powers, such as regulating interstate commerce and declaring wars

Answer 1

Answer: Choice A

This is because we can rule out choices B, C and D. They are all found in article 1. Specifically their locations are:

• Choice B is found in section 1.
• Choice C is found in sections 2 and 3 (for house and senate respectively)
• Choice D is found in section 8, and section 9 goes over limits to the powers of congress.

Choice A is the only thing left, so it must be the answer. If you look at article 2 of the constitution (section 1), then you'll find that the power to execute laws are vested in the executive branch, and not the legislative one. So this is further proof that choice A is the answer.
