What are the differences and similarities between a senator and a representative?

Senators and representatives are both members of the U.S. Congress, responsible for making Federal Laws. A key difference is that senators serve six-year terms and represent entire states, while representatives serve two-year terms and represent individual congressional districts. Both are elected officials and participate in the legislative process, but the structure and length of their terms differ significantly. Additionally, the Senate has unique powers, such as confirming presidential appointments and ratifying treaties, which are not granted to the House of Representatives.
