Because house members are elected every two years, they wind up being very close to their constituents and must listen to what their constituents say or risk not being re-elected. Additionally, when the US was founded, Senators, Presidents, and Supreme Court Justices were appointed by other politicians, but Congressmen in the House were elected by direct popular vote. This made them more clearly representative of the public will.

∙ 10y agoIt is elected directly by the people. For the first hundred-odd years of the Republic, Senators were appointed by the state legislatures, so the House was considered to be the voice of people because it was directly representating the people. Additionally, they generally have fewer constituents than Senators, allowing a closer and more representative relationship with constituents. Lastly, the entire body is elected every two years, meaning they are more responsive to changes in the mood of the populace than the other elected positions.
