Teaching about the U.S. Congress. ERIC Digest. Today, being a member of Congress is a full-time job for 435 representatives and four delegates (from the District of Columbia, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and American Samoa) and 100 senators, most of whom split their time between Washington DC and their home district or state. Delegates from states with small populations vehemently opposed the Virginia Plan because it diminished their power in Congress relative to the states with large populations. The President, for example, may veto legislation passed by Congress, or the Supreme Court may rule legislation passed by Congress to be unconstitutional and therefore null and void. www.ericdigests.org /2001-4/congress.html   (1600 words)

United States House of Representatives - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The District of Columbia and the territories of American Samoa, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are represented by a delegate each. The bicameral Congress arose from the desire of the Founding Fathers to create a "house of the people" that would closely resemble and follow public opinion, and a more deliberative, learned and reserved Senate which would be less susceptible to the frenzies of mass sentiment. Under article one, section two of the constitution, seats in the House of Representatives are apportioned among the states on the basis of population, as determined by a census conducted every ten years. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/U.S._House_of_Representatives   (4769 words)
