The correct answer

  • It has an executive competence

Why

The National Council has executive competence, which does not represent its characteristics because it is a legislative body. The National Council comprises 200 representatives elected by citizens for four-year terms and represents the people in national legislative decision-making.

  • It’s the representative of the citizens
  • It’s constituted by 200 national counselors
  • It has an executive competence
  • The counselors are elected every 4 years
