These are the answer choices for the question:

a.  Increasing party polarization and hyperpartisanship

b.  The public's decreasing attention to the actions of Congress

c.  Increasing hostility toward presidential leadership

d.  An increasing number of members who refuse to identify with either party

e.  The decreasing willingness of members to follow their party leaders

And the correct answer choice is:

a.  Increasing party polarization and hyperpartisanship

Explanation:

Bipartisanship in Congress, which would be the ideal situation because it can benefit all Americans, has become increasingly rare in recent years, and the reason why is increasing party polarization and hyperpartisanship.

What this implies is that members from opposing parties will not work together on a bill, even if they agree on most things, simply because they are from different political parties, and this can be somewhat used for political gain.

This enviroment in Congress produces an inefective legislative body that is in constant lock. Very few bills pass, and those that pass tend to be less substantial. Meanwhile, the people from the United States continue to suffer the consequences of an ineffective Congress, while the power of the other two branches of government, especially that of the executive, continues to grow at the expense of the power of Congress.

explanation:

the topics being handled in article 1, section 7, of the u.s constitution, revolve around two issues: the first, the correct procedure to pass legislation regarding revenue production through tax, and the second, the correct process for creating and passing law. in the first case, the text of the constitution literally states that all bills regarding the raising of money, or revenue, need to first be proposed by the house of representatives, although the senate may also play a role here by either proposing such a bill to the house, or agreeing with one being proposed by the house. the second portion, speaks about the process to create, pass and enact legislation. the bill must first be raised by one of the houses, then it must be voted by the plenaries of both houses, and then, it must be presented to the president of the united states, who will either accept it, or veto it, and send it back for reconsideration. if it is not sent back, then the bill is passed into law. if sent back by the president, then the house where the bill originated from will vote again, and if passed by two thirds of the majority, then it goes to the other house, with the observations from the president, for voting. if it passes there as well, then, the bill becomes law, with a few exceptions. this is what is explained in article i, section 7, of the u.s constitution.
