Скачать или смотреть House & Senate: Balancing Representation

In this clip from The Republic — If You Can Keep It, Rob and Lou break down why the Framers created two very different legislative chambers — and how that design protects the Republic from both concentrated power and fleeting political passions. They explore how the House of Representatives reflects the will of the people through proportional representation, frequent elections, and responsiveness to public sentiment, while the Senate provides stability, deliberation, and equal representation for each state regardless of size. Together, the two chambers form a deliberate balance: one rooted in population, the other in state sovereignty. This structure forces consensus, slows rash decision‑making, and ensures that both the people and the states have a voice in federal lawmaking.
A clear, accessible explanation of why bicameralism is one of the Constitution’s most important safeguards.
