What are the two parts of the U.S. Congress?

In Chinese 美国国会由哪两部分组成?

Official answer

  • Senate and House (of Representatives)参议院和众议院

Why this is the answer

Congress has two parts, or chambers: the Senate and the House of Representatives. In the Senate every state has two senators, so states are equal. In the House the number of representatives depends on a state’s population. A two-chamber legislature like this is called bicameral.
