Question

During floor debate in both the House and Senate, the constitutionality of a proposal is often brought up as a debating point by both proponents and opponents. Which reason best explains why the question of constitutionality is persuasive in a debate?

Answer 1

All government bodies are accountable to the Constitution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Though the judicial branch ultimately determines whether a law is constitutional, Congress is accountable to the Constitution just as all government bodies are. If Congressmen pass laws that are unconstitutional, they are not doing their jobs well. If the question of constitutionality is raised in the Senate, the Senate takes a vote to decide whether it believes the amendment or provision is constitutional.

Answer 2

All government bodies are accountable to the Constitution.
