Hi there!

The United States has a bicameral Congress because it is a compromise between the smaller and larger states. The larger states wanted the congress to be based on population, and the smaller states wanted it based on equality.

FOUR DIFFERENCES:
1. House of Representatives is based on population, while the Senate is based on equality
2. Representatives serve for 6-year terms in the Senate, while they can only serve 2-year terms in the House of Representatives
3. You must be at least 30 years old to serve in the Senate, while the minimum age is 25 in the House of Representatives
4. In order to be a part of the Senate, you must be a citizen for at least 14 years. In order to be a part of the House or Representatives, you must be a citizen for at least 7 years.

Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!

Do you agree with lincoln’s view of his authority and the way it limited what he could do about slavery?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Yes... I know that slavery was wrong because the white people were just lazy at first. I don't know if it was just because of the heat or what but that was ridiculous using people for hard labor....
