Correction to the comparing of political system in class

I have uploaded the answer KEY for comparing political systems to the blog. (Under class document)

Two mistakes mentioned in class.

US
1) Type of government: Republic: Power lies in the hands of the people through their elected representative, the house of representatives

2) Upper House: The Senate is elected and is responsible to the people, Each state, regardless of its size, is represented by two senators.

The highlighted part are the ones needs correction

Thank you

Sorry for the confusion
