The United States Government is composed of two main branches, which are the Senate and the House. Each one of them represents our government in different ways. The Senate is an assembly or a council of citizens having the highest deliberative and legislative functions in a government; while the House is a legislative or deliberative assembly. They are a two house legislature, and its mainly done for tradition. Even though they are the main powers of our administration they have different functions and rules. The United States government also has Bicameral Legislation, composed of or based on two legislative chambers or branches, the senate and The House.
The senate is the upper house of the U.S. Congress, to which two members is elected from each state by popular vote for a six-year term. Often the Senate is the upper house in the bicameral legislature of many states in the United States.

The House and the Senate
Yours is a good essay on the legislative branch of government. America has a bicameral legislature but it isn't "mainly done for tradition." When the nation was being formed, the small states did not like the idea of deciding the number of seats in the legislature based soley on the relative population of each state. Consequently, an additional legislative body was designed, the Senate, which gave equal representation to each state regardless of population. Senators would serve six years to better insulate them from political considerations and to make the Senate a more deliberative body than the House, or at least that was the intention of the nation's founding fathers.
