Question

which principles from article i of the us constitution could help prevent any one student from gaining too much power in the student government legislative body? choose two correct answers. granting the executive branch veto power requiring a quorum to conduct business allowing a judicial branch to declare decisions unconstitutional dividing the legislative body into two separate chambers limiting terms of office for student representatives

Explanation:

1. Dividing the legislative body into two separate chambers: Article I of the US Constitution establishes a bicameral legislature (House and Senate). This separation of the legislative branch into two parts (like a student government having two chambers) prevents one person or a small group from having total control over legislation, as both chambers must agree on bills.
2. Requiring a quorum to conduct business: A quorum (minimum number of members present) is a principle from Article I (e.g., in Congress, a quorum is needed to pass laws). In a student government, requiring a quorum ensures that one student can’t act alone—multiple members must be present, limiting the power of any single individual.

Other options: "Granting executive veto power" relates to the executive branch (Article II), "allowing judicial review" relates to the judicial branch (Article III), and "limiting terms" is not a core Article I principle for preventing legislative power concentration.

Answer:

• dividing the legislative body into two separate chambers
• requiring a quorum to conduct business
