The Legislative branch is made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Together the House and the Senate make up Congress. Each state elects two senators, who have a six-year term, to represent their whole state. 3 The United States is divided into 435 districts (an area of a country, state, or county). 3 Each state has multiple districts that, when put together, make up the 435 districts. 3 Maine only has two districts, so it only has two congressmen. The congressmen each have a two-year term in the House of Representatives to represent the districts. 3 2
