Which statement about congress is accurate? it contains only the house of representatives. the senate’s membership is based on a state’s population. it is bicameral, according to the constitution. membership in both houses is based on equal representation.

The correct answer is "It is bicameral, according to the Constitution."

The US Congress is made up of two houses, the House of Representatives and the Senate. Representation in the house is based on a states population. The greater the population, the more representatives a state has (and vice versa). However, the Senate is NOT based on population. Rather, each state gets two Senators regardless of population. This was established in the US Constitution.
