Article 1 of the Constitution describes the legislative branch. The main function of this branch of government is to make law(s). The legislature of the United States is called Congress. It is a bicameral legislature with two houses: The House of represtitves and the senators. The number of people in the House is based on population while each state has 2 representatives called committe in the other house.
The basic law making process is as follows:
1. A member of Congress introduces a bill 2. The bill is reviewed in senate
3. The bill is then voted on in one house 4. If the bill passes, it goes to the other house
5. If the bill passes both houses, it goes to the President 6. The President may sign or veto (reject) it.
7. If the President rejects it, then the bill goes back to Congress. 8. Congress may vote again to override the President’s veto an the bill then becomes law.
(if this is wrong I'm so sorry)
