House_of_Representatives_Vs._Senate

House of Representatives Vs. Senate The Constitution of the United States of America was approved on September 17, 1787, by delegates from the twelve states in attendance. Article 1 dictates how the legislative branch will be run. The main focus of Congress is to create laws. It created a bicameral legislature, which consists of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Although each section relies heavily on each other, they have specific differences that separate them. At the time of the creation of the Constitution, the states began to argue over their amount of representation. Larger states, such as Virginia, wanted representation in Congress based on population, since they had a large population. If they had more say in court, then they could control better what goes on in the country. Smaller states, like New Jersey, argued that each state should have an equal amount of representatives. Since they had less population, if Virginia got its way, small states like New Jersey would not be represented well. Due to this argument, the Senate was created to satisfy New Jersey, and the House of Representatives was created to appease Virginia. The House of Representatives has four hundred and thirty five representatives, unlike the Senate, which has a senate, states, each, representatives, new, house, years, state, two, population, one, must, amount, york, virginia, senators, representation, jersey, created, while, united, time, thirty, specific, since, separate, senator, section, seat, run, represented, relies, old, less, least, large
