Congress is the legislative branch of the federal government, responsible for making laws and representing the interests of the people. Similarly, the General Assembly is the legislative body at the state level, consisting of representatives who make laws and govern the state. Both Congress and the General Assembly play a crucial role in the democratic process by representing the people's interests and enacting legislation.

    Correct Answer
    A. Every ten years
    Explanation
    The General Assembly must redistrict Illinois every ten years. This is because redistricting is the process of redrawing the boundaries of congressional and legislative districts to reflect changes in population. By doing this every ten years, the General Assembly ensures that the districts are fairly representative and that each district has a similar number of residents. This process is important for maintaining equal representation and ensuring that the voting power of each citizen is protected.

    Correct Answer
    A. When ammendments are made to the Illinois Constitution they are made to the articles
    Explanation
    The major difference between the Illinois Constitution and the US Constitution is that when amendments are made to the Illinois Constitution, they are made to the articles. This means that any changes or modifications to the Illinois Constitution are made directly to the specific sections or provisions within the document. In contrast, amendments to the US Constitution are made through the addition of separate amendments, which are added to the end of the document. This difference in the amendment process reflects a variation in the structure and approach to constitutional changes between the two constitutions.
