To answer each question correctly, you can use the following explanations:
1. The statement "The legislature is often referred to as the first branch of government" is true. The legislature is considered the first branch of government because it is responsible for making laws and representing the interests of the people.
2. The statement "The total membership of the legislature is 220 members" is false. The total membership of the legislature can vary depending on the specific legislature being referred to. It is not a fixed number.
3. The statement "Legislatures are responsible for overseeing the executive branch" is false. The legislative branch and executive branch are separate branches of government with different responsibilities. The legislative branch makes laws, while the executive branch enforces laws.
4. The statement "A person must be at least 25 years of age to serve in the House or Senate" is false. The minimum age requirement for serving in the House of Representatives is 25 years, but for the Senate, it is 30 years.
5. The statement "A candidate for the state legislature must be a U.S. citizen" is true. To serve in the state legislature, a candidate must be a U.S. citizen.
6. The statement "A candidate for the state legislature must be a resident of Georgia" is true. To serve in the Georgia state legislature, a candidate must be a resident of Georgia.
7. The statement "The Georgia state legislature meets 100 days each year" is false. The number of days the Georgia state legislature meets can vary from year to year and is not fixed at 100 days.
8. The statement "Every five years, the state counts its population and redraws district boundaries based on changes in population" is true. This process is known as redistricting and is done to ensure fair representation by adjusting district boundaries based on population changes. It typically occurs every ten years after the census, but the specific timeline may vary by state.
