Purdue Civic Literacy Practice Test

Which body has 100 members and six-year terms?

The House of Representatives The Senate The Supreme Court The President

Correct Answer:

The Senate

Explanation:

Two per state and six-year terms describe the Senate. The Senate is made up of 100 members, two from each state, and senators serve six-year terms, with elections for about one-third of seats every two years to maintain continuity. This setup contrasts with the House, which has 435 voting members with two-year terms; the Supreme Court, whose members serve lifetime appointments; and the President, who serves a four-year term. So the description points to the Senate.
