Why do U.S. representatives serve shorter terms than U.S. senators?
U.S. representatives serve two-year terms, so they can quickly respond to changing public opinion in their districts. Senators serve six-year terms to provide more stability for their state as a whole and seek solutions for its long-term needs.
