The House of Representatives was designed to be closer to the people as they are elected every 2 years, are constantly campaigning, and usually vote on things with the views of the people in their district. Whereas the Senate, since they have longer terms, vote based on what is best for both the district and the country, and not on the changing views and whims of the people.
Answer:
First, a Representative sponsors a bill.
The bill is then assigned to a committee for study.
If released by the committee, the bill is put on a calendar to be voted on, debated or amended.
If the bill passes by simple majority (218 of 435), the bill moves to the Senate.
In the Senate, the bill is assigned to another committee and, if released, debated and voted on.
If the Senate makes changes, the bill must return to the House for concurrence.
The resulting bill returns to the House and Senate for final approval.
The President then has 10 days to veto the final bill or sign it into law.
Explanation:
There is a violent spirit of opposition raised on the Continent against the execution of the Stamp Act, the mob in Boston have carried it very high against Mr. Oliver the Secry (a Town born child) for his acceptance of an office in consequence of that act. They have even proceeded to some violence, and burnt him in Effigy &c. They threaten to pull down & burn the Stamp Office now building, and that they will hold every man as Infamous that shall presume to carry the Stamp Act into Execution; so that it is thought Mr. Oliver will resign. I don’t find any such turbulent spirit to prevail among us, if it should, the means are in our Hands to prevent any tumults or Insults; what the consequences may be in the Colonies who have no military force to keep the rabble in order, I cannot pretend to say.
