Once you've watched the videos, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgVKvqTItto please give some thought to and address the following points in a 3–4-page essay: 1. What is a law? And, why do civil societies need/want them? And, what about a Democratic congress gives you, me and every other American a voice in that lawmaking process and why does that process matter? (THIS IS A LOADED SERIES OF CONSIDERATIONS THAT SHOULD SET THE TONE FOR THE REST OF YOUR ANALYSIS, SO SLOW DOWN AND ANSWER THOUGHTFULLY :0). 2. Why did our founding fathers structure our Congress with two chambers - The House and the Senate? What is the structure of each chamber and how do they work together? Why is this important to the making of laws and to our Democracy? 3. Look at the structure of the two chambers and the minimum Constitutional age and residency requirements. Why do we have these and why are they different for each chamber - what might that tell you about each chamber? 4. What is the "necessary and proper" clause, located in Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution? What is its purpose and why is it so broad and ambiguous? 5. Discuss your understanding of majority party vs. minority party in Congress. What does this mean? What privileges and challenges come with each? And, what happens with then majority party becomes the minority party? Why did our founding fathers think this is a good thing? 6. Briefly explain how a proposed bill becomes law and discuss the potential challenges along the way. Feel free to use the currently pending Build Back Better bill currently pending in the U.S. House of Representatives. It serves as a great example of this issue(s). 7. Who is your member of the House of Representatives? What was the latest piece of legislation that they sponsored? Did it become law? 8. Finally, name one thing you learned from Ch. 9 and your study of the US Congress that you like and one that you do not and why.

AMERICA AND IT’S CONGRESS
Congress and it’s system
The term "law" has several definitions that change throughout time. It is a set of rules established by the government or community for a particular region. To manage crime, commerce, social interactions, property, money, etc., the law adheres to certain traditions and norms. The governing authority is in charge of enforcing the legislation.
According to Black's Law Dictionary, "the law" is defined as "a set of norms of action or behavior imposed by a governing authority and having a binding legal effect."
Several definitions have been given by various renowned philosophers.
Civil societies need law for proper functioning of their societies, so that there is no chaos and everybody leads a peaceful life. My or your voice is heard in Congress because the House of Representatives represents the voice of the ordinary man. This process of representation of a common man’s idea matters because this is the way how important points and problems of society reach up the Parliament where laws are made to protect the society. This division of houses is important because if the common man won’t be represented in the Parliament then how will society’s problems be put forth.
To ensure that everyone would be represented when the Constitution was written, the founding fathers established Congress, which is made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The number of representatives each state receives is solely based on its population; every state has at least one member. The House of Representatives has 435 voting members. The governing body that is most receptive to popular opinion is the House of Representatives,
