The term 'Upper House' refers to one of the two chambers in a bicameral legislature, typically responsible for representing regions or states. In many countries, such as the United States with its Senate, the Upper House plays a crucial role in the legislative process, including the review and approval of laws proposed by the Lower House. Members of the Upper House are often appointed or elected for longer terms than those in the Lower House, allowing for more stability and continuity in governance. This structure aims to balance the interests of different regions and provide a check on the more populous Lower House, ensuring diverse representation in the legislative process.
