We elect a U.S. Representative for how many years?
- Four
- Six
- Two
Correct Answer

A. Two

Explanation

A U.S. Representative is elected for a term of two years. This is specified in the United States Constitution, which states that members of the House of Representatives shall be chosen every second year by the people of each state. This shorter term is intended to ensure that representatives remain accountable to their constituents and that the House of Representatives, as a whole, can more quickly respond to the changing needs and sentiments of the American people.
