What is one chamber of the U.S. Congress?

  1. House of Commons

  2. Senate

  3. National Assembly

  4. Judicial Branch

The correct answer is: Senate

The Senate is one of the two chambers of the U.S. Congress, alongside the House of Representatives. The U.S. Congress is the legislative branch of the federal government and is responsible for making laws. Each chamber plays a specific role in the lawmaking process, with the Senate having unique powers such as confirming presidential appointments and ratifying treaties. The Senate consists of 100 members, with each state represented by two senators, serving six-year terms. The other options don't accurately reflect a chamber of the U.S. Congress. The House of Commons is part of the British Parliament, the National Assembly typically refers to a legislative body in various countries but not in the U.S. context, and the Judicial Branch is a separate entity that interprets laws, distinct from the legislative functions performed by Congress.
