The House of Representatives and Senate are the two houses of Congress. Which of these choices during the Constitutional Convention was a major difference between the two houses?

The House of Representatives typically is always democrats and the Senate is typically always Republicans. The House of Representatives did not have as much power in Congress as the Senate The Houses of Representatives would be directly elected by the people of each state where the Senate were to be selected by the state legislatures The Senate only votes on laws and affairs that take place inside the United States where the House of Representatives only vote on foreign affairs.

this is what Wikipedia says The United States House of Representatives is one of the two houses of the United States Congress (a bicameral legislature). It is frequently referred to as The House. The other house is the Senate. The composition and powers of the House are established in Article One of the United States Constitution. The major power of the House is to pass federal legislation that affects the entire country, although its bills must also be passed by the Senate and further agreed to by the U.S. President before becoming law (unless both the House and Senate re-pass the legislation with a two-thirds majority in each chamber). The House has some exclusive powers: the power to initiate revenue bills,[1] to impeach officials (impeached officials are subsequently tried in the Senate),[2] and to elect the U.S. President in case there is no majority in the Electoral College.[3] Each U.S. state is represented in the House in proportion to its population as measured in the census, but every state is entitled to at least one representative. The most populous state, California, currently has 53 representatives. On the other end of the spectrum, there are seven states with only one representative each (Alaska, Delaware, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming). The total number of voting representatives is fixed by law at 435.[4] Each representative serves for a two-year term. The Speaker of the House, who presides over the chamber, is elected by the members of the House, and is therefore traditionally the leader of the House Democratic Caucus or the House Republican Conference, whichever party has more voting members. The House meets in the south wing of the United States Capitol.
