Best Answer

The Senate is designed to be the upper house and to have members serve 6 year terms because it was felt that one part of the legislative branch should have expertise in making the decisions and laws. The House was designed to be the lower house because the members are based on state/district population from a census every 10 years. It was meant for the house members to only serve 2 years and have limited powers.
