Answer: They work for the government, as part of Congress
Explanation:
Congress is bicameral, which means it has two parts. The House of Representatives, and the Senate. There are always 100 people in the Senate, two senators for each state. The Senate is all about equal representation, so no matter if you're a small or large state- you have two representatives! In the House of Representatives, the amount of representation varies by the population of the state you represent. Currently, New York has 27 representatives, while Louisiana has 6. The House can have a total of 435 representatives.
The Senate votes on things like confirming or rejecting treaties, confirming or rejecting presidential appointments to office, federal judges, including Supreme Court justices, and ambassadors, trying a government official who commits a crime against the United States.
The House of Representatives can initiate impeachment proceedings and originate revenue bills.
