US Senate "Tie-Breaking Vote" Prompt
Imagine you’re in a classroom and your teacher asks the class to vote on whether to have a pop quiz. The votes are counted and it’s a tie! Now, who should break the tie? The teacher, right? Because they’re in charge of the class. Now, let’s think about the US Senate. It’s like the classroom, and the Senators are like the students. They vote on laws. But what happens if there’s a tie? That’s where the Vice President comes in. They’re like the teacher in our classroom scenario. So, explain why the Vice President of the United States is the person who gets to cast the tie-breaking vote when there’s a 50-50 tie in the Senate. Remember, explain it in a way that a sixth grader would understand!
US Senate "2 Senators Per State" Prompt
Imagine you’re playing a game with your friends. Some of your friends have more toys than others, but in this game, everyone gets an equal say, no matter how many toys they have. Now, think about the United States as a big group of friends, where each friend is a state. Some states have more people (like toys) than others. But when it comes to the Senate, every state gets the same number of Senators - that’s 2 each. So, can you explain why each state in the United States has exactly 2 Senators, no matter how big or small they are? Remember, explain it in a way that a sixth grader would understand!
