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 can serve up to twelve years, which is longer than repre- sentatives limit of four years. c senators are less likely than representatives to cater to the chang- ing whims of the public. d fewer senators go up for reelection each term compared to representatives.

Explanation:

• Option C: Senators have longer terms (6 years) compared to representatives (2 years). This means they are not as beholden to short - term public opinion shifts. Representatives, with their shorter terms, may be more inclined to follow the immediate desires of the public to secure re - election.
• Option D: Only one - third of the Senate is up for reelection every two years. In the House of Representatives, all members are up for reelection every two years. This lower turnover rate in the Senate contributes to its stability.

• Option A: The number of sessions does not directly relate to the stability of the body. Both chambers have a set number of sessions based on the legislative calendar.
• Option B: Senators serve 6 - year terms, not 12 years. Representatives serve 2 - year terms. So this option has incorrect factual information about term lengths.

Answer:

C. 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.
