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.
Many people are inclined to say that the only thing that can justify the categorical element of moral judgments is the fact that Gâd commanded them. However, being commanded by Gâd is not a necessary and sufficient condition for something being a categorical, moral judgment.
