rubric
4-5 sentences with state and federal counts + specific difference in member counts + specific difference in powers
Hints
- Federal: Senate 100 + House 435 + Supreme Court 9.
- State varies - look at MG-6 for state specifics.
Misconceptions to watch
- Conflating state and federal as 'same thing'
- Generic differences without specific counts
- Missing the powers difference
