American Government: Federalist Papers

  Reflecting on the structural differences between the House of Representatives and the Senate (see Art. I of the Constitution), and the Federalist essays on each chamber, explain why they differed. Please avoid listing the structural differences between the institutions. I want to know why they differed. I want you to consider what the intentions of the framers of the Constitution were, with respect to the House of Representatives and the Senate. What unique purpose was each institution intended to serve that differed from the unique purpose of the other?
