Article One, Section Three of the Constitution states that there shall be two senators per state. Article One, Section Two states that the numbers for the House of representatives are determined by population (based on the national census taken every ten years).

Answer 4

The United States Senate is one of the two chambers of the bicameral United States Congress, the other being the House of Representatives. In the Senate, each state is equally represented by two members; as a result, the total membership of the body is currently 100. Senators serve for six-year terms that are staggered so elections are held for approximately one-third of the seats (a "class") every second year. The Vice President of the United States is the President of the Senate and serves as its presiding officer, but is not a Senator and does not vote except to break ties. The Vice President rarely acts as President of the Senate unless casting a tie-breaking vote or during ceremonial occasions, so the duty of presiding usually falls to the President pro tempore, customarily the most senior senator of the majority party. Most often, the President pro tempore will designate another member from his or her party to serve as presiding officer for the day.

The Senate is regarded as a more deliberative body than the House of Representatives; the Senate is smaller and its members serve longer terms, allowing for a more collegial and less partisan atmosphere that is somewhat more insulated from public opinion than the House. The Senate has several exclusive powers enumerated in Article One of the Constitution not granted to the House; most significantly, the President cannot ratify treaties or, with rare exception, make important appointments (most significantly ambassadors, members of the the federal judicary, including the Supreme Court, and members of the Cabinet) without the advice and consent of the Senate.

The Framers of the Constitution created a bicameral Congress out of a desire to have two houses to check each other. One house was intended to be a "people's house" that would be very sensitive to public opinion. The other house was intended to be a more reserved, more deliberate forum of elite wisdom that represented the state legislatures. The Constitution provides that the approval of both chambers is necessary for the passage of legislation. The exclusive powers enumerated to the Senate in the Constitution are regarded as more important than those exclusively enumerated to the House. As a result, the responsibilities of the Senate (the "upper house") are more extensive than those of the House of Representatives (the "lower house").

Answer 5

In the Constitution of the United States, Article one deals with legislative power. It states that each state will have 2 seats in the sentate, while each states representation in the House of Representatives will be determined by the relative population of each state.

This "bicameral legislature" with different rules for how each state is represented, was a compromise solution. In writing the constitution, states with small populations wanted each state to have equal representation, while the heavily populated states wanted representation based strictly on population. This compromise gave each side something they could live with. This was called the "Great Compromise" or "Connecticut Compromise".
