| | The Senate is the smaller of the two houses of Congress. | | | This provision is a holdover from the time when senators were not directly elected and citizens rejected the practice of "taxation without representation", one of the primary grievances that led to the American Revolution. | | | This separation is achieved symbolically in the Constitution itself (which describes each branch in a separate article) and in the physical locations of the headquarters of each branch in Washington, D.C.--the legislative in the Capitol; the executive in the White House; and the judicial in the Supreme Court Building. |
