Question

which arguments accurately support the idea that the senate is more stable than the house of representatives? select all that apply. a the senate has fewer sessions each term than the house of representatives does. b senators are less likely than representatives to cater to the changing whims of the public. c senators can serve up to twelve years, which is longer than representatives limit of four years. d fewer senators go up for reelection each term compared to representatives.

Explanation:

• Option B: Senators have longer terms (6 years) compared to representatives (2 years). This means they are less pressured to constantly adapt to short - term public whims for re - election, which contributes to stability.
• Option D: Only 1/3 of senators are up for re - election every 2 years, while all representatives are up for re - election every 2 years. Fewer members facing re - election at once leads to more stability as there is less turnover and disruption.

Answer:

B. Senators are less likely than representatives to cater to the changing whims of the public; D. Fewer senators go up for reelection each term compared to representatives.
