What are all the three reasons that the senate is called the upper house?
The Senate was formed to represent the states of the Union, a much smaller and more-deliberative body, with longer terms (6 years). Prior to the Constitution, the Congress consisted of only one legislative body. While the name is reminiscent of the Roman Senate, the land-based political structure is more similar to that of the House of Lords in the British Parliament. Certain powers are exercised only by the Senate (such as confirming judges, ambassadors, and executive appointees, or removing impeached Presidents from office), but revenue bills may start only in the lower chamber. The House was intended to be more representative of the people, with shorter (2-year) terms and much smaller districts. In fact, the first article of the original Bill of rights was intended to keep Congressional Districts very small, so as to keep the "lower house" closer to the people and more democratic. (This article has still not been ratified, and many districts have larger populations than the smallest states.)
