The House and the Senate are the two houses of congress. They have fairly similar levels of power, in that they both have to pass a bill in order for it to become law (which is the chief power of congress).  The difference between them is that Representatives are based on population, each one intended to represent a specific group of citizens.  Originally, the plan was to have a Representative for every 30,000 Americans, but the population grew too big for that, so we've capped the number of Representatives at 435.  In any case, each state is divided into congressional districts, and your congressperson is supposed to represent you in the Federal government. They're the one you're supposed to go to if you have a problem with how the country is being run.

The Senate, on the other hand, is supposed to represent the interests of the states.  Each state gets two senators (no matter how big or small they are).  Originally, they were appointed by the state legislatures, but all states have gone over to voting for Senators directly.

<u><em>Advantages:</em></u>(1)1. It would bring new ideas to the table.2. It may encourage people to vote.3. It would stop political power maneuvering.4. It would limit the influence of lobbying.5. It allows for newly elected officials to have influence.6. It could limit the potential for corruption.

<u><em>Disadvantages</em></u>: 1. Good leaders would be forced to retire.2. It changes the learning curve.3. Networking benefits would be lost.4. It could create rogue politicians.
