Why did the founding fathers set the House of Representative term length for 2 years?

It's the upper house of Congress, and the idea is to make a more stable body than the House of Representatives. 

 Since every rep is up for reelection every two years, it's conceivable (yet unlikely) that at any given election, there could be a complete turnover. 

 The Senate, on the other hand, has 1/3rd of its members up for reelection at any given time. This makes the makeup of the body more predictable and stable from year to year. 

 Also remember that when they were created, the House was designed to be the voice of the people, and the Senate was designed to be the voice of the states. It wasn't until about a hundred years ago that the people were able to vote for Senators.

oh that makes sense. So in stupid language: The 2 year term allowed more chances for citizens to get into congress?
