Question 17 • RKAA- Second Semester Civics and Citizenship 0.5 New
Read the scenario.A representative from Maryland’s third congressional district introduced a bill to expand Americans’ access to the ballot box and curb voter suppression. The bill was read by members of the House, who agreed to send it to committee. Some changes were made to the bill. Then it was then sent back to the whole House for a vote, where it passed.
Answer
A
The bill gets an immediate vote by the full Senate.
B
The bill goes through the same process—reading, committee, and vote.
C
The bill goes through next steps—revision, approval, and passage.
D
The bill is rewritten by the Senate and sent back to the House.
Explanation
After a bill passes the House, it goes to the Senate, where it follows a similar process: it is read, considered by a committee, and voted on. The Senate may make changes, but it does not automatically send the bill straight to a full vote or rewrite it and return it to the House.
