Congressional actions can be organized into four broad categories. Which one of the following is NOT one of those?

Question

Exercise powers enumerated in the Constitution
Represent constituents
Balance powers between both houses and other branches
Determine the constitutionality of law

Answer 1

The option that is NOT one of the four broad categories of congressional actions is "Determine the constitutionality of law."

This function is primarily associated with the judicial branch, particularly the Supreme Court, rather than Congress. Congress does have the power to create laws, but it does not have the authority to interpret laws or determine their constitutionality, which is the role of the judiciary.
