Question

1. How many parts does Congress have? What are their names?
2. How many senators does each state get?
3. How does the Senate benefit smaller states?
4. Who are the senators that represent Florida?

Answer 1

1. 3 parts; Judicial, Legislative, and Executive.

2. Each state has 2 senators.

3. Since larger states and smaller states have the same number of senators, there’s a clear benefit to representing a smaller state. Think about the 9 million people that live in New York that are represented by two senators. Then think about how the 1 million people that live in Maine who are also represented by two senators. The senators that represent larger states have much more stress than the smaller states do.

4. Rick Scott & Marco Rubio.
