Legislative: The House

Article I Section 2, “The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature.”




     This is saying how the congress has to be separated into two and that one of that is the House of Representatives. It’s also saying that the representatives will take care of people from their state and more specifically their district. It’s also saying how we shall vote for them and they will serve for a term of two years.

     This article demonstrates how the House of Representatives are still in use. This article is about how congress in trying to pass a different health reform but are going through some difficulties trying to pass it since it favors the republicans more. The republicans prefer this one then the one already passed by president Barrack Obama. This shows how the house still plays a major roll in making bills laws.

     Without the house, I believe some people would be very unhappy. The representative’s job is to represent their district. In addition, the bill that they are trying to pass might not benefit the district so they would want to vote against it and something for it. So their representative would be able to do something for them.
