Answer 1

Members of Congress have responsibilities such as A) listening to the needs and concerns of citizens within their district or state, B) acting as an ambassador for industries and products from their state, and D) protecting and promoting the interests of their district or state. However, Congress members do not C) work with the Supreme Court to interpret the laws that they create this job is left entirely up to the Supreme Court. 

Answer 2

The correct answer is C) working with the Supreme Court to interpret the laws they create.

What is NOT one of the responsibilities of a Congress member is "working with the Supreme Court to interpret the laws they create."

Congressmen cannot act as judges of the same laws that they enacted. That is why the United Stats has a system of checks and balances that do not allow any branch to have more power than the other. The executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch check each other to balance power in the US government.

So some responsibilities of a Congress member are listening to the needs and concerns of citizens within their district or state, acting as an ambassador for industries and products from their state, and protecting and promoting the interests of their district or state.
