The Senate and the House of Representatives Explained (Congress - AP Government Review)
http://www.tomrichey.net
Tom Richey explains the powers of the distinctive characteristics of the two houses of the United States Congress: the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate is the Upper House of Congress where all states are represented equally in a small legislative body with aristocratic traditions. The House of Representatives, or Lower House, is a larger body with seats apportioned based on population. In addition to its unique aristocratic traditions of "senatorial courtesy," the Senate has the distinct powers of ratifying treaties and confirming presidential appointments to the federal bench, the cabinet, and of foreign ambassadors. The House, being closest to the people and elected more often, has the sole authority to initiate revenue (taxation) bills.

The Senator | UK Trailer (2018) | Jason Clarke | Kate Marra | Thriller
Inspired by true events, The Senator is a shocking political thriller following a tragic web of lies that took hold of the Kennedy family and changed the course of US history, forever.
On July 18, 1969, Sen. Ted Kennedy (Jason Clarke) drives his car off a bridge on Massachusetts’ Chappaquiddick Island.
The accident results in the death of passenger Mary Jo Kopechne (Kate Marra), a 28-year-old campaign strategist who worked for Kennedy. The ongoing investigation into the mysterious and scandalous events forever alters his political legacy - and ultimately changes the course of presidential history.
The Senator is an enthralling tale of political zeitgeist and will ensure this chapter won’t just be left to the history books.

2:46 Who is in there?
8:34 How they pass laws?
11:05 Procedural stuff
12:18 Exclusive responsibilities
14:55 Impact and Legacy
The United States Congress makes laws at the federal level. It’s the legislature of the federal government of the country. They meet in this cute little building, the U.S. Capitol. Members are directly elected by citizens in their home parts of the country.
But did you know that Congress was bi?
Bicameral, which means it’s separated into two groups, and those two groups, are the House of Representatives and the Senate
At the Constitutional Convention in 1787, one big debate broke out between delegates of states with larger populations and delegates of states with smaller populations. The debate was over how many representatives each state would have in Congress. Delegates from larger population states argued that, since their states contributed proportionally more in taxes and resources, they should enjoy proportionally much more representation in Congress. Delegates from smaller states argued that, since they were afraid of having their voices ignored, all states should be equally represented in Congress. Thankfully, Founding Father Dudes Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth came to the rescue. They created what today is commonly referred to as The Great Compromise, and it called for a bicameral federal legislature- an upper house to provide equal representation for each state, and a lower house to provide proportional representation based on a state’s population. On July 4, 1787 others at the convention got on board…I’m not joking…it was on that day that many of the delegates came around to Sherman and Ellsworth’s idea, and on July 16th the delegates officially adopted it…by a margin of one, single vote. Without that vote, there probably wouldn’t be a Constitution today.
So that’s why there are two houses of Congress. But both are quite different. In this video, I’m going to compare the House to the Senate, with the help of my friend and fellow teacher Mr. Wernimont.

The United States Congress makes laws at the federal level. It’s the legislature of the federal government of the country. They meet in this cute little building, the U.S. Capitol. Members are directly elected by citizens in their home parts of the country.
But did you know that Congress was bi?
Bicameral, which means it’s separated into two groups, and those two groups, are the House of Representatives and the Senate
At the Constitutional Convention in 1787, one big debate broke out between delegates of states with larger populations and delegates of states with smaller populations. The debate was over how many representatives each state would have in Congress. Delegates from larger population states argued that, since their states contributed proportionally more in taxes and resources, they should enjoy proportionally much more representation in Congress. Delegates from smaller states argued that, since they were afraid of having their voices ignored, all states should be equally represented in Congress. Thankfully, Founding Father Dudes Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth came to the rescue. They created what today is commonly referred to as The Great Compromise, and it called for a bicameral federal legislature- an upper house to provide equal representation for each state, and a lower house to provide proportional representation based on a state’s population. On July 4, 1787 others at the convention got on board…I’m not joking…it was on that day that many of the delegates came around to Sherman and Ellsworth’s idea, and on July 16th the delegates officially adopted it…by a margin of one, single vote. Without that vote, there probably wouldn’t be a Constitution today.
So that’s why there are two houses of Congress. But both are quite different. In this video, I’m going to compare the House to the Senate, with the help of my friend and fellow teacher Mr. Wernimont.
