The Senate — Quiz

Question 17 • CA 2026 Civics and Economics

Which describes a difference between the duties of House members and the duties of Senate members?

Answer
A
House members meet with their constituents while Senate members only meet with other Senate members.
B
Senate members represent state interests while House members represent district interests.
C
House members serve on committees while Senate members only serve on boards.
D
Senate members hire and manage their staff while House members have no staff to manage.

Explanation

Each senator represents an entire state, while each House member represents a specific congressional district within a state. This difference means senators consider interests across their state, whereas House members represent the interests of their district. Both chambers have staff, serve on committees, and meet with constituents, so the other choices do not describe an accurate difference.
