What are 3 facts you learned about congress this week?
-I learned that there are not 43 House of Reps because there are indeed 50 states.
-There are 100 Senators.
-There are 435 House of Representatives.
Besides qualifications and terms of office, what are two additional differences between the House and the Senate?
-The House of Representatives has more members than the Senate.
-The Senate is smaller but more powerful; House of Reps is larger but less powerful.
What is one way this bicameral system helps to establish a truly representative democracy?
-The bicameral system truly represents states by not only representing through population size with House of Representatives, but also by strength with Senators. States are able to trust their Representative by re-electing them each year or choosing to let them go and be represented by someone else.
