In chemistry, a structural analog, also known as a chemical analog or simply an analog, is a compound having a structure similar to that of another one, but differing from it in respect of a certain component. It can differ in one or more atoms, functional groups, or substructures, which are replaced with other atoms, groups, or substructures.
The Founders realized that representation was the most important aspect of republicanism. Therefore, the United States established a bicameral legislature for two reasons. First, two chambers of Congress ensure that the states are equally and adequately represented. Second, a bicameral legislature acts as a primary function of separation of powers. The American Revolution, and the years preceding, established the mindset of the Founders.
The framers of the Constitution created a bicameral Congress primarily as a compromise between those who felt that each state, since it was sovereign, should be equally represented, and those who felt the legislature must directly represent the people, as the House of Commons did in the United Kingdom.he Senate uses Standing Rules of the Senate for operation. Like the House of Representatives, the Senate meets in the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. At one end of the chamber of the Senate is a dais from which the presiding officer presides. The lower tier of the dais is used by clerks and other officials.
