Question 16 • Principles of American Democracy

Which best explains how state legislative branches are structured?

Answer
A
Most states have legislatures with upper and lower houses of equal size.
B
Most states have legislatures with a large upper house and a small lower house.
C
Most states have legislatures with a small upper house and a large lower house.
D
Most states have legislatures with large upper and lower houses.

Explanation

Most state legislatures have two chambers: an upper house, usually called the senate, and a lower house, often called the house or assembly. The senate generally has fewer members than the lower house, so the upper house is small and the lower house is large. That makes choice A the best answer.
