Скачать или смотреть Introduction to The U.S. Legislative Branch

Welcome to your introduction to the U.S. Congress! As the first branch of government, outlined in Article I of the Constitution, Congress holds the critical power to make our nation's laws and represent the will of the people.

But why is it split into two parts?

In this video, we explore the bicameral legislature—a system designed by the framers to balance different interests. You'll learn the "why" behind the Great Compromise and the distinct roles of the two chambers:

🏛️ The House of Representatives: The "voice of the people," with representation based on population and designed for rapid response.

🏛️ The Senate: The "voice of the states," with equal representation for every state, designed for long-term deliberation.

We'll cover their basic responsibilities, term lengths, and how this separation of power within the legislative branch is fundamental to American democracy.

This is the perfect starting point for any U.S. Government, Civics, or AP Gov student.
