The U.S. Constitution detailed several requirements of Congress, including which of the following?

• A. All of the above
• B. The minimum age of Congress members
• C. Meeting at least once a year
• D. The power to levy taxes, borrow money, and regulate commerce

Answer: (A)

The Constitution lays out three kinds of facts about Congress: who can serve, when Congress must meet, and what Congress can do. It sets minimum ages for members in each chamber—25 for representatives and 30 for senators—so there is a recognized threshold that must be met before serving. It also requires Congress to meet at least once a year, ensuring that the legislative branch remains active and available to address national issues. On top of that, it enumerates powers like levying taxes, borrowing money, and regulating commerce, granting Congress the authority to fund the government, manage debt, and regulate economic activity.

Because each of these statements reflects a real constitutional provision, choosing “All of the above” is the best answer. The other options point to individual aspects, but together they accurately represent the range of requirements and powers the Constitution assigns to Congress.
