What constitutes a municipal council?

  1. A mayor and senators.

  2. A governor and state representatives.

  3. A mayor (or a reeve) and councillors or aldermen.

  4. Only the mayor.

The correct answer is: A mayor (or a reeve) and councillors or aldermen.

A municipal council is a governing body responsible for governing a municipality or local area. This typically includes making decisions and policies for the community, managing local services and facilities, and representing the interests of the community. Therefore, a municipal council is made up of a group of individuals rather than a single person. Option A is incorrect because a municipal council is not made up of senators, but rather council members who are elected by the community. Option B is also incorrect because a governor and state representatives are elected to govern at the state level, not at the municipal level. Option D is incorrect because a municipal council consists of more than just the mayor; it also includes other members such as councillors or aldermen. Thus, the correct answer is C.
