One term for a representative in the house is two years long. One term for a senate member is six years long. When our founding fathers were in the process of writing the constitution (after the Articles of Confederation failed), some states wanted to have a government based on the population of the state, while the smaller, less populous states disagreed. So they came to this conclusion, a House of Representatives will be created in favor of the population of the state, while a senate will have two representatives per state. So, the way that a rep. is chosen is based on the population of your state. The House does many things including being involved with the passing of new laws. And, if needed at any time voting on an improvement/change to the constitution.
