Congress: The Senate and the House

The United States Congress is a bicameral legislature, consisting of two distinct chambers: the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate is composed of 100 members, with each state represented by two senators, serving six-year terms.

In contrast, the House of Representatives has 435 members, with representation based on state populations, serving two-year terms. This structure is designed to balance the interests of both populous and less populous states, ensuring that all voices are heard in the legislative process.
