The Chamber of Representatives is one of the two houses of the National Congress in many countries, including the United States. It is responsible for making and passing laws, representing the interests of the public. Members of the chamber, known as representatives, are elected by citizens and serve specific terms, typically ranging from two to four years. In the U.S., the Chamber of Representatives consists of 435 members, with the number from each state based on its population. This structure ensures that larger states have more influence in the legislative process, while smaller states are still represented. The chamber plays a crucial role in shaping national policy and governance.
