Question

civics chapter 5 section 2 homework assignment
if the democrats have 310 members in the house of representatives and the republicans have 125 members in the house, which political party is the minority party?
○ republican
○ democrats
○ independent

Explanation:

To determine the minority party, we compare the number of members of each party. Democrats have 310 members, Republicans have 125 members. A minority party has fewer members than the majority party. Since 125 (Republicans) is less than 310 (Democrats), the Republicans are the minority party. The "Independent" option is not relevant here as no independent members are mentioned with a count to compare.

Answer:

A. Republican
