  The Congress of the United States is composed of two houses, the Senate and the Houses of Representatives. The Senate repre¬sents the states and the House represents the population according to its distribution among the states. Each state is guaranteed at least one representative in the House. The remainders are appor¬tioned among the states according to their population. There is now, roughly, one representative for every 380,000 people, but no two congressional districts have exactly the same population.
  The Senate of the United States is composed of one hundred members, two being elected from each state. Senators are chosen for six years, one-third retiring or seeking re-election every two years. Two senators from the same state never finish their terms at the same time; one of them is called "Senior Senator" and the other— Junior Senator. Theoretically all Citizens of both sexes over 18 years of age have the right to vote, but in fact this is' not so. All stales have electoral requirements of same nature. First of all- there are residence requirements.
