B) Article II established the executive branch.
C) Article III established the judicial branch

Answer 1

Article I of the U.S. Constitution establishes the Congress, which is the legislative branch of the government. It outlines that all legislative powers are vested in Congress and describes the composition and functions of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Step-by-step explanation:

Article I: Establishes Congress (Legislative Branch of Government)

Congress is addressed in Article I of the U.S. Constitution. The Constitutional provisions of Article I are as follows:

1. All Legislative Powers are Vested in Congress
2. Requires that Congress be bicameral, that is, it should be divided into two houses, the Senate and the House of Representatives. At the time the constitution was adopted, several states and the Continental Congress had only one lawmaking body. The creation of two legislative bodies reflected a compromise between the power of the states and the power of the people. The number of seats in the House of Representatives is based on population. The larger more urban states have more representatives than the more rural, less-populated states. But the Senate gives power to the states equally, with two senators from each state. To become law, any proposed legislation must be passed by both the House and the Senate and be approved (or at least not vetoed) by the president.
