∙ 12y agoThe House of Representatives in the Congress of the United States of America is made up of representatives of state based on the population of each given state. What that means is California gets more representatives in the House of Representatives than say Delaware. Representatives of the House are up for reelection ever two years, encouraging these representatives to be more attentive to the voice of their constituents (the people they represent) in order to regularly get reelected.
The Senate in the Congress of the United States of America is made up of an equal number of representatives from each state. Each state has only two representatives, no matter the population size of the state. Senators are elected every 6 years, encouraging these representatives to be able to focus more on the issues and less on being reelected.
Both the Senate and the House are able to write and propose bills which may or may not be passed into law. Both the Senate and the House must approve government spending / budgets. They must also approve the decision whether or not the country goes to war.
