Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first number represents the Congress that passed the bill, and the second number represents the order in which the bill was enacted within that Congress. In this case, Public Law 92-433 was enacted by the 92nd Congress, and it was the 433rd bill enacted within that Congress. Options A and D are incorrect because there is no information given about the margin of approval or number of votes. Option B is incorrect because bills are not numbered by the Congress they are enacted during, but rather by the order in which they are introduced.
