Question

A. "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives."
B. "Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a law, be presented to the President of the United States."
C. “Every house may determine the rules of its proceedings”
D. "Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for mor than three days, nor to any other Place than that in which the two houses shall be sitting."

Answer 1

The quote that best explains the differences between each congressional chamber's approach to the legislative process is:

C. “Every house may determine the rules of its proceedings.”

This quote highlights the autonomy each chamber (the House of Representatives and the Senate) has in establishing its own rules and procedures for how it conducts business, including the legislative process. The House and Senate have different structures, sizes, and traditions that influence their respective legislative approaches, and this quote underscores that distinction.
