The PENGUIN GUIDE to the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION

by Richard Beeman

Article I Section 1

It is no accident that the first article of the Constitution deals with the structure and powers of the Congress, for virtually all of those who took part in the drafting of the Constitution considered the legislative branch to be the most important and, rightfully, the most powerful of the three branches of government.

There was broad agreement among the framers of the Constitution that the Congress should consist of a bicameral legislature. The House of Representatives, the ''lower house,'' was conceived to be the the ''great repository'' of the people of the nation at large, while the Senate, ''the upper house,'' was to be composed of only the most knowledgeable, well-educated, and virtuous, who could be relied upon to act as a moderating influence on the whims of the people at large.
