Bicameral Structure of Congress. The Constitution created a bicameral national legislatureâthat is, a Congress composed of two separate chambers, the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate, sometimes called the upper house, is smaller (currently 100 seats) and its members serve longer terms (six years).
The categorical imperative is an idea that the philosopher Immanuel Kant had about ethics. Kant said that an imperative is something that a person must do. For example: if a person wants to stop being thirsty, it is imperative that they have a drink.
Imperative logic is the field of logic concerned with arguments containing sentences in the imperative mood. In contrast to sentences in the declarative mood, imperatives are neither true nor false. This leads to a number of logical dilemmas, puzzles, and paradoxes. Unlike classical logic, there is almost no consensus on any aspect of imperative logic.
