Question

which of the following is most likely a real congressional committee?
a a committee made up of the wealthiest members of congress

b a committee that discusses laws that deal with agriculture

c a committee that decides whether or not the u.s. will go to war

d a committee that nominates supreme court justices

Explanation:

• Option A: Congressional committees are formed based on policy areas or legislative tasks, not wealth of members, so this is not a real committee.
• Option B: There are real Congressional committees (like the House Committee on Agriculture or Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry) that discuss and draft laws related to agriculture.
• Option C: The decision to go to war is not solely made by a Congressional committee; it involves broader processes and the President's role, and there's no single committee with this sole power.
• Option D: Supreme Court justices are nominated by the President, not a Congressional committee.

Answer:

B. A committee that discusses laws that deal with agriculture
