Guided Reading Activity: The Structure of Congress
Are you struggling to understand the complex structure of the United States Congress? Do you need a clear, concise, and engaging way to learn about the Senate, the House of Representatives, and how they work together (and sometimes against each other)? This guided reading activity is designed to help you master the intricacies of Congress, making this often-daunting topic accessible and understandable. We'll break down the structure, roles, and powers of each chamber, providing you with a comprehensive overview perfect for students, educators, or anyone curious about American government.
H2: Understanding the Bicameral Legislature: Two Houses, One Goal
The United States Congress is a bicameral legislature, meaning it consists of two separate chambers: the Senate and the House of Representatives. This unique structure is a result of the Great Compromise during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, balancing the interests of smaller and larger states. Let's delve deeper into each chamber's distinct characteristics and functions.
#### H3: The House of Representatives: Representing the People
The House of Representatives, often referred to simply as the "House," is the lower chamber of Congress. Its membership is directly proportional to the population of each state. This means that states with larger populations have more representatives than those with smaller populations. Currently, there are 435 voting members, with each representative serving a two-year term.
##### H4: Key Roles and Responsibilities of the House:
Initiating Revenue Bills: All bills dealing with taxation must originate in the House.
Impeachment Power: The House has the sole power to impeach (formally accuse) federal officials, including the President.
Approving Presidential Appointments: The House approves certain presidential appointments.
#### H3: The Senate: The States' Voice
The Senate, the upper chamber of Congress, has 100 members, two from each state, regardless of population. Senators serve six-year terms, with one-third of the Senate up for reelection every two years, ensuring continuous experience and stability.
##### H4: Key Roles and Responsibilities of the Senate:
Ratifying Treaties: The Senate ratifies treaties negotiated by the President with a two-thirds vote.
Confirming Presidential Appointments: The Senate confirms presidential appointments to key positions, including Cabinet secretaries, federal judges, and ambassadors.
Trying Impeachment Cases: The Senate conducts impeachment trials, with a two-thirds vote required for conviction.
H2: The Legislative Process: From Bill to Law
The process of turning an idea into a federal law is complex and involves both chambers of Congress. It typically begins with the introduction of a bill in either the House or the Senate. The bill then goes through several stages, including committee review, debate, and voting.
#### H3: Key Steps in the Legislative Process:
1. Introduction: A bill is introduced by a member of Congress.
2. Committee Consideration: The bill is referred to a relevant committee for review and possible amendments.
3. Floor Debate: The bill is debated on the floor of the House or Senate.
4. Voting: Both chambers must pass the bill. If amendments are made, it must be passed by both chambers in its final form.
5. Presidential Action: The President can sign the bill into law, veto it, or allow it to become law without signing. A two-thirds vote in both houses can override a presidential veto.
H2: Checks and Balances: Maintaining Equilibrium
The structure of Congress, along with the other branches of government, ensures a system of checks and balances. This prevents any single branch from becoming too powerful and safeguards against tyranny. The bicameral legislature itself acts as a check, with each chamber possessing unique powers that can influence and sometimes restrain the other. The President's ability to veto legislation further strengthens this system, forcing Congress to build consensus and consider the executive branch's perspective.
H2: Understanding Congressional Committees: The Workhorses of Congress
Congressional committees are crucial to the legislative process. They specialize in specific policy areas, conduct hearings, and mark up bills before they reach the floor for debate. These committees provide crucial expertise and allow for more thorough consideration of complex legislation.
Conclusion
Understanding the structure of Congress is crucial to comprehending the workings of the American political system. This guided reading activity has provided a framework for understanding the distinct roles of the House and Senate, the legislative process, and the critical system of checks and balances. By grasping these fundamental concepts, you can better engage with political discourse and participate more effectively as a citizen.
FAQs:
1. What is the difference between a bill and a law? A bill is a proposed law, while a law is a bill that has been passed by both houses of Congress and signed by the President (or allowed to become law without signature).
2. What is a filibuster? A filibuster is a tactic used in the Senate to delay or block a vote on a bill. It involves continuous debate to prevent a vote from taking place.
3. What is gerrymandering? Gerrymandering is the manipulation of electoral district boundaries to favor a particular political party or group.
4. How can I contact my representatives in Congress? You can find contact information for your representatives on the House and Senate websites.
5. What are some common criticisms of the current structure of Congress? Common criticisms include partisan gridlock, the influence of money in politics, and the lack of responsiveness to the needs of constituents.

Experience the forces that shaped an American icon -- and America itself -- in this gripping tale of courage, country, loyalty, and love. George Takei has captured hearts and minds worldwide with his magnetic performances, sharp wit, and outspoken commitment to equal rights. But long before he braved new frontiers in STAR TREK, he woke up as a four-year-old boy to find his own birth country at war with his father's -- and their entire family forced from their home into an uncertain future. In 1942, at the order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, every person of Japanese descent on the west coast was rounded up and shipped to one of ten relocation centers, hundreds or thousands of miles from home, where they would be held for years under armed guard. THEY CALLED US ENEMY is Takei's firsthand account of those years behind barbed wire, the terrors and small joys of childhood in the shadow of legalized racism, his mother's hard choices, his father's tested faith in democracy, and the way those experiences planted the seeds for his astonishing future. What does it mean to be American? Who gets to decide? George Takei joins cowriters Justin Eisinger & Steven Scott and artist Harmony Becker for the journey of a lifetime. |
| guided reading activity the structure of congress: The Federalist Papers Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, James Madison, 2018-08-20 Classic Books Library presents this brand new edition of “The Federalist Papers”, a collection of separate essays and articles compiled in 1788 by Alexander Hamilton. Following the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776, the governing doctrines and policies of the States lacked cohesion. “The Federalist”, as it was previously known, was constructed by American statesman Alexander Hamilton, and was intended to catalyse the ratification of the United States Constitution. Hamilton recruited fellow statesmen James Madison Jr., and John Jay to write papers for the compendium, and the three are known as some of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Alexander Hamilton (c. 1755–1804) was an American lawyer, journalist and highly influential government official. He also served as a Senior Officer in the Army between 1799-1800 and founded the Federalist Party, the system that governed the nation’s finances. His contributions to the Constitution and leadership made a significant and lasting impact on the early development of the nation of the United States. |

| guided reading activity the structure of congress: Act of Congress Robert G. Kaiser, 2014-01-28 A Washington Post Notable Book An eye-opening account of how Congress today really works—and how it doesn’t— Act of Congress focuses on two of the major players behind the sweeping financial reform bill enacted in response to the Great Crash of 2008: colorful, wisecracking congressman Barney Frank, and careful, insightful senator Christopher Dodd, both of whom met regularly with Robert G. Kaiser during the eighteen months they worked on the bill. In this compelling narrative, Kaiser shows how staffers play a critical role, drafting the legislation and often making the crucial deals. Kaiser’s rare insider access enabled him to illuminate the often-hidden intricacies of legislative enterprise and shows us the workings of Congress in all of its complexity, a clearer picture than any we have had of how Congress works best—or sometimes doesn’t work at all. |

| guided reading activity the structure of congress: Actors, Athletes, and Astronauts David T. Canon, 1990-05-30 The U.S. Congress is typically seen as an institution filled with career politicians who have been seasoned by experience in lower levels of political office. In fact, political amateurs have comprised roughly one quarter of the House of Representatives since 1930. The effect of amateurs' inexperience on their political careers, roles in Congress, and impact on the political system has never been analyzed in detail. Written in a lucid style accessible to the nonspecialist, David T. Canon's Actors, Athletes, and Astronauts is a definitive study of political amateurs in elections and in Congress. Canon examines the political conditions that prompt amateurs to run for office, why they win or lose, and whether elected amateurs behave differently from their experienced counterparts. Challenging previous work which presumed stable career structures and progressively ambitious candidates, his study reveals that amateurs are disproportionately elected in periods of high political opportunity, such as the 1930s for Democrats and 1980s for Republicans. Canon's detailed findings call for significant revision of our prevailing understanding of ambition theory and disarm monolithic interpretations of political amateurs. His unique typology of amateurism differentiates among policy-oriented, hopeless, or ambitious amateurs. The latter resemble their professional counterparts; hopeless amateurs are swept into office by strong partisan motivations and decision-making styles of each type vary, affecting their degree of success, but each type of amateur provides a necessary electoral balance by defeating entrenched incumbents rarely challenged by more experienced politicians. |
