I am a different person and whoever wrote this is a jerk, here is the real answer:
The purpose of committees in Congress is to divide up the volume and complexity of tasks and to give members a chance to debate privately and not have their votes committed to record. The Senate and House each have 20 standing committees.Standing committees are permanent panels approved by the House of Representatives and Senate rules. One purpose of a standing committee is to review legislation and make suggestions. The second purpose is to monitor agencies and programs within their jurisdiction.
House standing committees Joint committees of congress && Senate standing committees
Conference Committees
Joint committees perform investigative or house keeping duties; Conference committees iron out differences in bills from both houses.
Standing Committees
The primary purpose of the Committees of Correspondence was to facilitate the exchange of information between colonies. Another function was the spreading of Propaganda.
Committees help ease the workload and are the key power centers in congress.
The purpose of committees is generally planning and decision making.
The purpose of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees is to fully and currently notify of all intelligenve activities including covert activities.
If most bills are handled by joint committees, how might the purpose and structure of Congress be affected??
Congressional select committees are designed to exist for a limited time and for a specific purpose. They almost never create original legislation.
