Answer 3

1. A.  The Bill of Rights protects the individual from the government.

2.  The House is larger, the Senate is smaller.  The house has members based on the population of the state. The Senate has two members for each state regardless of the size of the state.

3.  Probably A.  I'm not sure about Illinois, but the president of the US is elected by the electoral college, not by popular vote.

4.  Republic.  Or democracy.  Both mean the same.

5.  It does not become law.  Laws must be approved by both houses, and the president. Or the president's veto can be overridden by a supermajority of both houses.  In any case it takes both houses.
