Certainly! Let's evaluate each statement:

  1. The Senate and the House are prohibited from adjourning without the consent of the other.
    This statement is true. According to the U.S. Constitution, neither the House of Representatives nor the Senate can adjourn for more than three days without the consent of the other chamber. This is outlined in Article I, Section 5, Clause 4.

  2. Congress does not govern the independent region of the District of Columbia.
    This statement is false. Congress has the authority to govern the District of Columbia. The U.S. Constitution grants Congress the power to exercise exclusive legislation over the District, as stated in Article I, Section 8, Clause 17.

  3. Although the state legislature meets in the state capitol, it makes laws for all 50 states.
    This statement is false. State legislatures only have the authority to make laws within their respective states. Each state legislature is responsible for creating laws that apply only within its own state boundaries, not for all 50 states.
