Question
- how much support is needed to pass a bill in the legislature?
at least 70% in one house
more than 50% in the senate; less than 50% in the house
more than 50% in both houses
To pass a bill in a typical legislative system (like in the US), a bill needs a majority (more than 50%) in both the Senate and the House of Representatives (the two houses of the legislature). The first option (70% in one house) is incorrect as most legislatures don't require such a high threshold in one house. The second option (more than 50% in Senate, less than 50% in House) is illogical as a bill needs majority support in both to pass. So the correct option is the one stating more than 50% in both houses.
