why is congress bicameral legislature
The Constitution created a bicameral national legislatureâthat is, a Congress composed of two separate chambers, the Senate and the House of Representatives.The Senate, sometimes called the upper house, is smaller (currently 100 seats) and its members serve longer terms (six years).ach state, no matter how large or small, has equal representation (two seats each) in the Senate. The House of Representatives, a.k.a. the lower house, is much larger (currently 435 seats) and its members serve much shorter terms (two years).
