What are the two legislative houses of our ferderal government?
The House of Representatives and the Senate, collectively called "Congress" make up the legislative branch of the Federal Government. Every state has at least three representatives in Congress - all states have two members in the Senate, which is the house of equal representation, and at least one representative in the House of Representatives - most states have more than one - There are 435 members in the House of Representatives. The House of Representatives is distributed by population - the states with larger populations have more representatives in the House of Representatives, the states with smaller populations have fewer representatives.
