Because of the specific rules governing operations in the House and the Senate, committees in the House are much more important than in the Senate. This is chiefly due to the fact that it is practically impossible for the minority party to bring a bill to the floor for a vote unless it is cleared out of committee.
The committee system is more important in the House than the Senate because of the sheer difference in size. There are only 100 members of the Senate, but there are 435 members of the House. In order for anything to get accomplished, the bulk of the work on important issues must be handled by committees.
ommittees are essential to the effective operation of legislative bodies. Committee membership enables members to develop specialized knowledge of the matters under their jurisdiction. As "little legislatures," committees monitor on-going governmental operations, identify issues suitable for legislative review, gather and evaluate information; and recommend courses of action to their parent body.
The House is so large that more work can be accomplished in committee than on the floor.
the house is larger and therefor the representatives form committees to effectively address the variety of issues presented to them
