The United States Congress makes laws at the federal level. It’s the legislature of the federal government of the country. They meet in this cute little building, the U.S. Capitol. Members are directly elected by citizens in their home parts of the country.
But did you know that Congress was bi?
Bicameral, which means it’s separated into two groups, and those two groups, are the House of Representatives and the Senate
At the Constitutional Convention in 1787, one big debate broke out between delegates of states with larger populations and delegates of states with smaller populations. The debate was over how many representatives each state would have in Congress. Delegates from larger population states argued that, since their states contributed proportionally more in taxes and resources, they should enjoy proportionally much more representation in Congress. Delegates from smaller states argued that, since they were afraid of having their voices ignored, all states should be equally represented in Congress. Thankfully, Founding Father Dudes Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth came to the rescue. They created what today is commonly referred to as The Great Compromise, and it called for a bicameral federal legislature- an upper house to provide equal representation for each state, and a lower house to provide proportional representation based on a state’s population. On July 4, 1787 others at the convention got on board…I’m not joking…it was on that day that many of the delegates came around to Sherman and Ellsworth’s idea, and on July 16th the delegates officially adopted it…by a margin of one, single vote. Without that vote, there probably wouldn’t be a Constitution today.
So that’s why there are two houses of Congress. But both are quite different. In this video, I’m going to compare the House to the Senate, with the help of my friend and fellow teacher Mr. Wernimont.

So which is better? The House of Representatives or The Senate?*
*your voice will not be heard if you live in a gerrymandered congressional district (and probably not in the Senate, either)
Both are full of liars and corruption, so honestly state legislature for the win!
I think the senate
will your voice be counted if you live in a guaranteed outcome district?
Mr bean do something funny
House reps are always vying for Senate seats, not vice-versa.
The simple answer: It took Mr. Beat a LOT longer to call every Representative than to call every Senator.
😄
@@adityamishra6389 it was released early for members and patrons
@@iammrbeat13:40 the Congress literally funds the Dept of justice/judicial branch so their co equal branch stuff is moot specially if they use it so they can ignore subpoenas about their flagrant bribing
@@iammrbeat but that dude from starwars said "THE SENATE!" all creepy like!
I think the house
60 years ago this was taught to me in Jr. high school. I'm amazed at how much I remembered from that. Too bad I don't remember what I had for lunch.
lol
Thank you for your service, Mr. Beat.
Both as a teacher and as a creator.
Well thanks for the kind comment!
@@iammrbeatyou are NO teacher. LMAO.
@@kevinumber7 he literally is
@@kevinumber7 Citation needed.
I always viewed the Senate as more aristocratic and “high-minded” and I guess that’s what the founders intended.
Well, as alluded to in the video, the Senate is meant to represent the states. Originally it was meant to represent the state's legislatures and vote based off of the ideals/goals/visions of that state, think of how the EU is still a group of different nations; France for instance sends their people to speak to the EU commission on behalf of France.
I personally wish it was still this way as it helped put more power in the hands of the states and put emphasis on local elections where the citizens have a much larger say do to the smaller and more localized voting base.
That was until Mr. 17th came along
@@joescrazylife8150 sadly...
The founders explicitly said that it was meant to serve the interests of the upper class and safeguard them from the whims of the populace.
I suppose it mirrors the Roman democracy in that way, with the senate for the patricians and the tribune for the commoners
I think Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth are underrated Founding Fathers. They were ahead of their time, but nowadays they’re overshadowed by the other Founding Fathers, especially presidents. I’m not saying they were better than the rest, but most people don’t give them enough credit.
Couldn't agree more. At least the Senate added a painting of them to the Senate reception room, but they deserve so much more.
Roger Sherman, especially. He was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, the articles of confederation, and the constitution. And he served in both houses of Congress.
@@thecongressman But Ellsworth was also very influential. He pretty much led the Senate in the beginning, writing the Judiciary Act of 1789, and getting the first national bank off the ground. He also got George Washington to sign the Jay treaty and was instrumental in passing the bill of rights.
That was actually a pretty darn good explanation of the differences between the two chambers! My wife works for our Congressman and it's really true about them being more connected. He regularly has "District Days" where he just visits different groups. My wife's job is to coordinate all of that. Most people of any influence have met him.
Not only was it a good explanation, it was fun at the same time. People will remember more of it because we were more engaged. Thank you!
As for the House being more connected. Just think of the average number of people each Senator represents. Then consider California with over 39 million people. Half of that is almost 15 million people. Texas, New York, and Florida are also in a similar situation. Now look at Wyoming. They have 1 House member for 580 k people, but 2 Senators for 290 k people each.
Surprised the guy doing the Senate didn't dress up as Palpatine from Star Wars.
"I Am The Senate."

Arggh...another missed opportunity!
@iammrbeat all good, we love the knowledge you provide to us nonstop.
I almost thought about doing this! Would have maybe made me too much of a villain though! 😅
@@kylewernimont3322
Just say it in McConnell's voice, he's already enough of a villain 😂🤣
I voted for Jesse Ventura, the governor of Minnesota, who proposed a state constitutional amendment to make the state legislature unicameral (only one body) like Nebraska. His reasoning being that while bills are subject to public debate in either body, the final bill that goes to the governor for signing is usually crafted in a compromise committee, which is closed to the public. I support this idea, along with the idea that state and federal legislative districts should be created by independent, non-partisan commissions.
Yet another reason why I loved him as a governor.
That definitely makes me look on him fonder these days.
There is no such thing as a non-partisan it's all run by biased humans
Jesse Ventura is interesting. He's pretty reasonable considering how absolutely crazy he is.
Why is that a good thing though? Doesn't that have the potential to make legislature more corrupt (i.e., last minute private convos with money in hand subtly changing the bill)?
From this Gov teacher - THANK YOU KING
Thank YOU for your service. :)
This was great! I could also have used a section on how members of each house are replaced in the event of removal, resignation, or death… which will definitely help clear up what happens in Mr Smith Goes to Washington.
I guess that has to be a separate video!
@@iammrbeat Most certainly! #brendajones
How is your comment from 1 day ago
It could also be a short!

Usually politicians "move up" from the House to the Senate, but there are a few examples of politicians who went the other way, or attempted to. The most prominent is Claude Pepper, who served in the Senate from 1936 to 1951 and then the House from 1963 to 1989. The two recent attempts that come to mind are Larry Pressler (senator from 1979 to 1997, ran for the House in 2002 but lost the primary) and Rod Grams (senator from 1995 to 2001, ran for the House in 2006 but lost the general election).
No one from Senate has gone on to HR _directly_ ! (eg. Claude Pepper became House member only after he lost his seat in the Senate)
Uh, John Quincy Adams is not as "prominent" as Claude Pepper?
He went from US Senate to Ambassador to Russia and the UK to Secretary of State to President and then to the House for 17 years. His years in the House are really much more impressive than his Senate (or Presidential) years, with his zeal for keeping the Union together and his impassioned opposition to slavery.
@@douglaskrueger3755 I was only looking at the direct election era, i.e. after the adoption of the 17th amendment in 1913. You're right that former senators running for House was much more common before that, with other famous examples being John J. Crittenden, Richard Mentor Johnson, Charles Pinckney, and Henry Clay.
Whether purposeful or not, the cheesiness of Mr. Beat videos is so on brand and appreciated by a Millennial like myself
As a zoomer, I feel like the cheesiness is just inevitable. There are a select few subjects (math, science, or physics) where a teacher can rise above the cringe and make legitimately good videos on this platform. However, a history teacher making RUclips videos can never not be at least a little bit cringe. I think it helps Mr. Beat though by giving his videos more "character."
Funny how the House and the Senate created and passed a Constitutional Amendment setting term limits for the President, but will reject a proposition introducing an amendment to set term limits on themselves.
They passed a constitutional amendment because it was a precedent George Washington, a founding father set, a president stepping down after 2 terms. It passed by a supermajority as required by the constitution. There is no established precedent for senators and representatives’ term limits.
hmm
I love how you set up your videos that everyone can learn, like a classroom!
Reminds me of taking online classes. I would be so damn happy tho if Mr. Beat was my Professor! 👌🏻
Ikr! Funny yet well done and informative with clear info
Never thought the house will be represented with fishing hat and a Hawaiian shirt
More of Mr Wernimont please!
This video was great!! Great job by the both of you! And the “at least we can both declare war” part was golden!
Absolutely awesome. I'm using this video to educate friends
That's amazing!
I’m using your videos to fill my good half in on history and geopolitics so this is pretty much perfect. Thanks!
I love the format of this video, definitely helps make educational content more entertaining 😊
So the Senate is British and the House is American, got it.
Fun Fact: Strom Thurmond is the oldest senator ever. He retired at 100.
And only retired due to severe health problems. He wanted to keep on going!
No way people voted for a godamn 94 year old 💀, but i mean hey at least a triple digit senator existed
@@MortanAMrk That's exactly what I was thinking the first time I learned that.
I get the impression that he had as much endurance as his filibusters.
@@iammrbeat Oh well. If he ever gets back on his seat he can run again (no term limits).
The House is where thinks pass, The Senate is where they go to die
Often yes
Man, I find this enjoyable. Entertaining. Feel like I'm in government class again.
Man I really enjoy your vidoes, been watching only for like 8 months now off and on but you really make thought out and well put together content. Wish I would’ve had you as a one of my history teachers.
Very kind of you to say that Kevin Mccarthy is basically in charge of the House.
lol
Hi Mr. Beat, I think you should start a government explained series where you talk about how the US government works. It'd be really interesting for me as an American who doesn't know much (but should) about how his government works. You can even explain how the supreme court works which goes along with your supreme court briefs. Thanks
I recommend the podcast Civics 101 made by NHPR. They do a great job at covering everything we either forgot or didn’t didn’t learn in high school.
It is quite crazy how small population States like Montana and Wyoming can decide the Fate of hundreds of millions of people because of the Senate
"did you know congress was bi?"
*record scratch* *gasp*
"bicameral that is"
*awwwwwwwwwww*
love it already
Nicely done as usual sir!
This is something I look up almost WEEKLY so THANK YOU!!!!
you are one of my favorite youtubers keep doing the good work
This video was just incredible in ever way, funny and informative, as a young man trying to learn more and more about the US government, thank you both so much! ❤🇺🇸
Mr Beat, that was your best video. Funny and informative. Thanks 🇺🇲
This was cringe-tastic and I loved it.
That was awesome!! You made me feel young again! You are a great man!
"Did you know that Congress is bi" is easily the best political joke I've ever heard
I like how this video is formatted, very fun!
Very informative and easy to learn in this format
What are great video you two!, love being to learn while being entertained ❤️ from VA.
This was awesome mr beat i have such a better understanding on how the house and senate works!
Thank you!
Here’s an idea for a compared video:
Buenos Aires, Argentina and Montevideo, Uruguay
Right on. Nice suggestion!
I’ve been waiting for this video for years
Thank you so much Mr Beat. Like your videos. This will help my visually impaired friend in studying American politics.
I wish you were my teacher at my school. I didn't know all of this until Now.
Thank You!!! 🎉
I remember learning about this topic in Cary Grove when I was a junior.
Did you pay attention in class? Huh?
@@iammrbeatyep
I learned so much. That was great. Thank you.
A couple of months ago i left a comment and you responded 12 minutes later, that was really cool, it made my day
❤
Thanks Mr. Best I needed a fun refresher 😂
Great video guys, I learned a lot.🙌
"Dad pretending to be cool" could be a Halloween outfit
How are any of them getting paid that much for doing nothing?!?
It's disgusting
Beat, please do Minneapolis and St. Paul, they are the obvious cities to compare next! They're the Twin Cities!!
But only Minnesotans would watch! lol
@@iammrbeat Lol, I'm sure all the Texans watched the Austin & San Antonio one.
im sure it will still get a decent amount of views, Dallas vs Houston got 1.3 Million views
hopefully one day we can have a unicameral legislature, one day...
I think that should be the long-term goal. It works well in Nebraska.
I personally still think bicameral has some uses in a federal government, but I would prefer that most, if not all, state governments reform to remove them.
I support a “sesquicameral” legislature (like what the UK has), where the Senate has the ability to introduce or amend legislation but doesn’t have the ability to reject it
Sesquicameral?
@@Y0ur_M0th3r I made that word up.
The “sesqui-“ part is a Latinate prefix that means 1½.
Love the content mr beast! Very accurate portrayal.
I think you should compare US elections to for example Germany:
- Both countries are incredibly similar in many ways. Both have a lower house (House/Bundetag)
- Upper house representing the states (Senate/Bundesrat)
- Both Bundesrat and US presidential elections us an electoral college
- Both the US and Germany have electorates in elections for parliament (although the other half of the seats in the German Bundestag are elected proportionally based on party results, this distribution system is very similar to the system that is used for the house seats of different states)
- Both the US and Germany have a system of federalism with state legislatures
- Both the US and Germany have subdivisions like counties
- The US uses a presidential system, while Germany has a parliamentarian system, normally if a party gets more than 50% their leader or another pre-determined prominent party figure will become Chancellor, while 2 or more parties have to form a coalition that represents more than 50% of the seats (Currently Social Democrats, Greens and Liberals)
- German Chancellors are both more and less powerful than US presidents, as they usually lead a majority coalition, the house or Bundestag will normally not vote against the government and the government coalition can be sure to get the things they agree on done, however the coalition parties normally have to adjust their party policies to each other in a compromise and parties in the government can widraw and bring the government to fall, leading to new elections
- Both the US and Germany have ministerial positions (Secetaries in the US and Ministers in Germany), its usual in both countries, that these positions rotate between people, but generally German ministers have much more power compared to the Chancellor in comparision to the US secretaries and German ministers and much better known by the general population, often being leaders of junior coalition parties
- Liberals in both countries have some similarities in being generally pro-business (especially in Germany) and socially progressive, but this is seen as more left-leaning in the US and in Germany more as center to center-right, in the social democrats, greens and democratic socialists, there are 3 parties that are arguably more left leaning than Democrats
- While in the US conservatism is associated with free-market capitalism, German conservatives are known for the buildup of the Social Market Economy, while but are capitalist system, Germany build more on independent instituations (publicly funded, neither private nor state owned) to regulate the market and a welfare state, while American conservatism are much more extreme against taxes and regulations
- It is more usual for German parties to have state parties in all states (only Democrats and Republicans have state parties in all 50 states, while all 6 German major parties have state wings in all German states and it is generally easier and expected, even if the wings fail the 5%-state parliament threshold)
- Both Germanies and Americas constitution share many fundamental right such as freedom of assembly and association, as well as seperation of church and state
- There are some differences in priorization of rights, while there is slightly more freedom of speech in the US on paper, unions for example are stronger in Germany and have better protections, also richer people in the US and Germany of de-facto have more ways to shut down opponents with lawsuits
- The US supreme court has 9 judges, while Germanies has 16, that are split into 2 senates
- Alabama and the Saarland are very similar in ways
This should be very interesting especially for people that constantly seem to claim that European countries very different to the US despite Germany for example after WW2 clearly has a system inspired by the US, but with a different and more proportional election system and bigger power sharing between ministries.
I would also love to see American politics being compared to Denmark, but that would be depressive, because the Danish system is just so much better.
I once saw a post that germany does not have a freedom of speech law bu something like freedom of thought kind of thing. Is this true I saw this in a Alt-right group so I am not sure about accuracy of this statement and I don't know enough german to read the law from the book itself.
I like this idea, but I feel someone else might to a better job with it since I mainly only study American political history.
We Danes got rid of the two chamber system after WW2 - just one chamber now baby!
@@jonbojsenkvrndrup8180 If you get rid of the 2% threshold it is literally a perfect system for any country in any situation.
How is the power of the federal and state governments defined in Germany. In the USA the constitution as written makes federal powers limited and defined and state powers numerous and indefinite. We have got so far away that must people here don't really understand our federalism as written.
So Germany has states and is also a state in the EU? How is the power between the central EU government defined. I realize the EU is not technically a federalism but unless powers are clearly defined the central government will gain power over time. The powers are clearly defined in the USA yet the central government is involved in all aspects of our lives today. The average person just assumes these are powers and roles of the federal government and even want more power given to the fed. The consequences of this are numerous but in a land as large and geographically as well as culturally different as ours one size can never fit all. That is the reason we have these division of powers. The same could happen to the EU but it would be the smaller states that really get trampled on by the central government the most. Germany has the largest population and is the strongest economically.
The very institution of the Senate has always struck me as the opposite of *representative* democracy, which the United States supposedly is.
Constitutional republic*
@@Noticer333 Not mutually exclusive.
@@Noticer333You do realize that a republic and a democracy are not different things, right? The American educational system is worryingly bad...
Well that’s wrong. The US was created as a limited suffrage republic with a 10 amendment constitution. This notion of representative democracy is historical revisionism. And irresponsible.
The republic of the United States is (well was until the latter 2000’s during major polarization) the very definition of democracy. The senate was established in the constitution, as elected officials of statewide elections. It gives power to the individual state as a whole, rather than a proportional system that may favor the minority party more due to things like gerrymandering. It was founded for a system of checks and balances, which certainly can function much better than having one parliament to settle disputes, which may favor the ruling party unfairly. I think it’s a great system.
That being said, in this polarized environment, constitutional amendments and settling legislation that deal on massive scale simply don’t happen anymore as you need a 60% majority of both houses, states, and a presidential signature. Huge landslides don’t happen anymore.
Fun fact my uncle worked in the staff of then United States senator from California Barbara Boxer
Mr.Beat feeds my need to learn more about history/ politcs. I love thia channel
Thanks for putting Civics education out into the world!!! I’d love to see Mr. Beat make a video on the responsibilities and duties of the Vice President. It would be a nice adjunct to this video, since you briefly mention the Vice President in terms of the senate. Many people think the Vice President is just on stand by mode in case something happens to the President-they don’t realize that Vice President is an office with its own set of responsibilities.
This was a cool concept for a video. Having the back and forth reminded me of the “Epic Rap Battles of History” found on the early days of RUclips
EPIC RAP BATTLES OF POLITICAL HISTORY
THE SENATE
VS
THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
BEGIN!
I personally love your series on how the American Government works! I've definitely used the House and Senate as inspirations for the legislative assembly of my own fictional country (which confusingly also has a "House" and "Senate"), haha
A lot of countries have a House and Senate so it's not a bad choice.
Plenty of bicameral legislatures out there.
Even Britain, who we declared our independence from, has two houses in its Parliament (not that Parliament!)
Does Mr. W not have a RUclips channel? I looked him up and couldn’t find one. Funny guy. Seriously great video guys
P.S. Almost forgot to mention, Beat:
Are you planning to do a vid on the non voting Delegates in the House?
I think that would be a good one to explain to Americans, especially since they can’t vote but can still sit on Committees.
Aloha 🤙🏼
Do one about D.C. Poor D.C. and Eleanor Holmes Norton have no vote and no Senators.
Mr. Beat your videos are amazing.
great vid as usual. idea for a video; any minimum age 25 representatives and minimum age 30 senators?
Could you do a video all about governors? Thanks. 😀
This basically rehashes 9th grade Civics class in a cooler way than was presented back when I was in school. Here is a topic that I never heard about in high school (and most know little about): the administrative state/executive agencies. I realize that would be tough to do in a neutral manner. I knew nothing about this until taking a State and Local Government Law class in a graduate program for Public Management.
This will surely help me ace my test next week Thank you Mr Beat.🙂
The Ultimate Comparison! Awesome Video 😎
New subscriber here! Amazing presentation and great video. 😆👍 Thank you!
It's almost like Mr Beat saw me NOT reading article one of the constitution 😂😂
Hey, I was just wondering do you think you’ll ever do a video on all of the attorney generals in US history so far and what they’ve done?
Very cool and very good will share
I do believe the 17th Amendment was misguided. Having the Senate chosen by a different process makes it clear they are different, and might actually represent the interests of the states. Most “progressive” proposals were counterproductive.
Especially Prohibition amirite?
@@iammrbeat Definitely Prohibition. About the only reasonable proposal was the 19th Amendment, which corrected an error in the 14th Amendment, which presumed only adult men were eligible voters.
Very informative video mr beat 👍
I'm so glad you thought so!
I really thought he was gonna be like “I am the senate”
Excellent topic!
I learned so many new things!
Problem is with gerrymandering the house members no longer represent or answer to the people they represent their party first and foremost. And the people who pay for their reelection. And special groups like the NRA.
Yep :(
what up Mr. Wernimont, didn't expect to see you in a Mr. Beat video lol.
Pretty cool, I must say I would love to know if you're showing that video in class because it is something I would.
Your channel is my very favorite :-)
The epic compared
😏
Either Mr. Beat uses a great moisturizer or he's aging backwards. And this was a fun and informative video with a great collab.
i love how this video made my entire 10th grade history class obsolete. he was a lovely teacher but damn this explains everything that man ever had tried to teach with the way the branches of government actually work
GREAT VIDEO!
Lol Beat, this was a good video!
Entertaining….and Educational.
Also love the loud Aloha shirt idea for the House (My Congressman wouldn’t be caught dead in that shirt, tho 😂).
Aloha 😊🇺🇸🤙🏼👏🏼
Loved this.
I used to be strongly pro unicameralism, but after the recent events in my home country of Israel and hearing a great speech by Antonin Scalia (on American exceptionalism, everyone should watch it), I changed my mind. I think it's truly exceptional that the constitution can block bad legislation so effectively. I just think the 17th amendment could be repealed as long as gerrymandering is banned in all of its forms. The sate legislatures should all become unicameral though, like Nebraska, because there's virtually no difference in the election method in the two houses.
But seriously, look up Scalia's speech. Even if you're not an American, it's still important and captures why America is exceptional.
Well put. I think if gerrymandering is banned I would be perfectly content with keeping the Senate as is.
Silent filibustering still needs to go though!
@@iammrbeat True, I completely forgot about it!
@Mr. Beat do you think that 25 year term limits for congress would be good or should it be lower
12 years for Reps, 18 years for Senators, and 24 for SCOTUS
I have read Article 1.
Good for you
My own opinion here, but I think it would be a great idea to reform Congress with a big compromise Constitutional amendment:
1) Liberals have wanted to expand the size of the House for decades, so let's do it. Let's double the size of the House of Representatives. That would cut the number of constituents for each House member in half and would make the House even more responsive to the needs of the People. We can tie the number of House Seats to the size population of the country too so it rises as the country grows.
2) Conservatives have likewise wanted to abolish the 17th amendment and return the election of Senators to the State Legislatures for decades. So let's do that too. Let's repeal the 17th amendment.
I think that would make both parties happy.
That house has to be pretty big to hold all those people
Their offices are across the street from the Capitol.
Your channel is making me a more informed US citizen.
Thank you so much!
You should do a top 10 politicians from every state's history.
For non Americans it was impressive to wade through the American political system snd understand this side of it.
He’s cute, and I like him, bring him back for more pls
You guys are hilarious! 🤣
