Under the United States Constitution the Congress is to be split into two different houses, the Congress and the Senate. The congressional house splits its representatives by population, which is determined after each national census is performed. The senate house is to be represented evenly with each state having two members that are elected by their populace. This bi-cameral system was put in place to conserve a balance of power between large and small states.
The US Legislature is Congress, which consists of the Senate (100 members, two per state) and the House of Representatives (435 members, chosen by population among states).
