How does the U.S. Congress, as it exists in its current structure, support and/or limit authentic representation?

The U.S Congress consists of the senate and the House of Representatives. Both senators and representatives are chosen through direct election. The structure of the US Congress is bicameral, it is made up of two houses or branches the house and senate

So there is a senate and the house of representatives; we elect them and they represent each state, and that states beliefes and wants. In the beginning of chapter seven page 169 the author stated that Woodrow Wilson believed “that, unquestionable, the predominant and controlling force, the center and source of all motive and regulative power, id Congress. Also later in this chapter the author states “what happens inside congress is not simply a function of outside forces brought to bear on it in the form of lobbying, campaign contributitions, and election results.

As it states in the book the most important aspects of congres’s structure is its division into two parts.. the senate and the house of representatives. These two parts are then divided into chambers of congresswhich each represent different kinds of constitencies. Senate represents state(each state has 2 members to the senante; the house of representatives represents districts within states based on population. Senators serve 6 years and reps serve 2 years

this is the giv structure broken down..

Congress is said to be decentralized, its structure makes it difficult for congress to articulate a broad program and provide leadership to the government
