In the Senate, the Majority Leader is in charge of which ever party has the most seats. They decide what their party should support and what Bills they should agree to. In the House, the Majority Leader is second-in-command of the party with the most seats (the Speaker of the House comes first). In the Senate, the Majority Leader shares power with the Minority Leader, whereas the ruling party tends to dominate the House.
The Whips assist the Party Leaders, tell them what their subordinates think, and make sure that the subordinates turn up to voting and support the party platform.
