What is bigger senate or house of representatives?
They both depend on each other to operate one cant work without the other. When the House of Reps (The Lower House) wants to pass a law or take some type of action they vote on it among them selves. Once they have passed it gets sent to the Senate (The Upper House) for approval if they don't approve it, nothing can happen. Actually if I was president and had to choose an opposition, I would rather it be the senate. The house originates revenue bills. The house impeaches. The house can also elect a president. The senate can do none of these things.
What are two things the senate can do that the house can't do?
The House of Representatives initiates bills for raising revenue and all impeachment proceedings. The Senate is not permitted to do either. In the matter of revenue bills, it may make changes in bills raised and passed in the House and send them back to the House for re-consideration, but these changes are more like suggestions. The Senate may not initiate impeachment proceedings, but it serves as the jury for the trial of the person who has been impeached.

What compromise said that southern states cant control the house of representatives?

How many votes are needed to pass a bill in the Senate?
A majority ( more that half ) of the Senators voting must vote in favor of it to pass a bill. The actual number depends on the number voting. It is rare for all the senators to be present and vote. If the vote is tied, the vice-president of the US can vote to break the tie.
