Answer 1

Answer: A. by giving the House and the Senate different powers

Explanation:

Even within Congress there exists a separation of powers so that Congress would not abuse its legislative powers. This separation happens between the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Both of these houses have different powers and neither can pass a law without the other. Senate for instance has the power to approve Federal judges and the House has the sole power to impeach the President.
