Which article establishes the legislative branch and bicameral Congress?

• A. Article 2 establishes the executive branch.
• B. Article 1 establishes the legislative branch.
• C. Article 3 establishes the judicial branch.
• D. Article 4 contains the Full Faith and Credit clause.

Answer: (C)

Article I of the U.S. Constitution establishes the legislative branch and creates a bicameral Congress, made up of the Senate and the House of Representatives. This article outlines how the two houses work, what powers Congress has (like passing laws, taxing, and declaring war), and the process for enacting legislation (both houses must pass a bill, and the President can sign or veto, with potential overrides). The other options correspond to different parts: Article II sets up the executive branch, Article III the judicial branch, and Article IV includes the Full Faith and Credit Clause. So, the article that establishes the legislative branch and bicameral Congress is Article I.
