What does the term 'Capitol' refer to?

A building where a legislative body meets
A city government office
A location for public gatherings
A courthouse

The correct answer is: A building where a legislative body meets

The term 'Capitol' specifically refers to a building where a legislative body meets, typically at the state or national level. This is where lawmakers gather to discuss, draft, and vote on legislation. In the United States, the most prominent example is the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., which houses the Senate and House of Representatives. This distinction is important because it conveys the significance of the Capitol as a center of political activity and governance, highlighting its role in the legislative process. Other options may refer to different types of civic buildings or functions but do not relate directly to the legislative purpose associated with a Capitol.
