Question

Which of the following is a true statement?

The citizens of a state may only register to vote after proving to have submitted their census survey.

The census is a flawed tool because census workers do not attempt to count all citizens, only a sample.

The main purpose of conducting a census every 10 years is to determine representational apportionment.

The majority of apportionment changes are due to state-level data collection and not national census data.

Answer 1

From all the statements, the only one right is The main purpose of conducting a census every 10 years is to determine representational apportionment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first option is wrong because voting is a right for every citizen in many countries including the U.S. and they are only required a certain age to exercise their vote. The age in which they are considered adults by law.

The second option is wrong because the main point of census workers is to find all the citizens and get their information.

The third option is right because 10 years is the time-lapse considered to be a major barrier between generations and their changes.

The fourth option is wrong because national census data is the factor that determines the majority of apportionment changes.

Thank you.

Answer 2

The correct answer is A) The main purpose of conducting a census every 10 years is to determine representational apportionment.

The true statement is the following: The main purpose of conducting a census every 10 years is to determine representational apportionment.

Article 1, section 2 of the United States Constitution says that a Census must count all the residents in the county. The formal name of the process is the Population and Housing Census or Decennial Census. The data collected by the census serves to determine the number of seats that each state is going to have in the lower chamber of Congress or House of Representatives. It also served to know how much money the government will distribute in federal funds.
