Describe the two houses that make up congress. how is representation of states determined within each house? what is the purpose of congress, as stated within the u. s. constitution?

The two houses that make up Congress are the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House of Representatives bases the number of Representatives per state by population. For example, since California has a larger population than Delaware, it has more Representatives. These Representatives are elected into their position by the people in their district. In contrast to the House of Representatives, the Senate only allows two senators per state. Senators, like Representatives, are elected by the citizens of their state. According to the Constitution, the purpose of Congress is to lay and collect taxes, regulate commerce, declare war, raise and support armies, borrow and coin money, and create laws.
