U.S. Congress: Why do we have both a Senate and House of Representatives?
That's right. And what are the main differences between the Senate and the House of Representatives?
The Senate has 100 members, with each state having two senators, while the House of Representatives has 435 members, distributed among states based on population. Senators serve six-year terms, while representatives serve two-year terms. Additionally, the Senate has certain powers, such as confirming presidential appointments and ratifying treaties, that the House of Representatives does not.
