Article II of the Constitution spells out the requirements and responsibilities of which branch of government?
  1. The presidency
  2. Congress
  3. The judiciary
  4. The bureaucracy
  5. The military
Explanation
Answer: A - The people who wrote the Constitution believed that Congress was more important than the presidency, so the selection criteria and duties of the president are spelled out in the second article instead of the first. This idea might run contrary to the myth that the three branches are equal. The Constitution gives far more power to the Congress than to the President.
