The House Of Representatives
Article I of the Constitution covers the legislative branch of the Federal Government, which is Congress. Article I establishes how Congress is structured (House of Representatives and Senate), how representation in each house is determined, the qualifications of office for Representatives and Senators, how a bill becomes a law, the rights, powers and immunities of each house and/or its members, that a census must be taken every ten years, the powers of Congress, the powers denied to Congress, and the powers denied to the states. Article I is also where the Great Compromise is found (concerning representation), as well as the now-defunct Three-Fifths Compromise, which declared a slave to be three-fifths of a white man for purposes of representation in the House of Representatives.
