👉 A member, normally elected, in the house or chamber of a legislature called a senate. The legislatures of the United States and Canada have senators.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! Today we’re tackling a word that's important to understand – “senators.” The dictionary gives us a good definition, but let's break it down with a little rhyme: “A senator's role is quite grand, Representing folks across the land. Elected by voters, you see, To speak for their community!” Essentially, a “senator” is someone chosen – elected, mind you! - to represent a group of people in a higher body of government. Think of it like this: Legislature: This just means a place where laws are made. Senate: A specific type of legislature. It’s often called the “upper house” because it's usually above or alongside a "house" (like the House of Representatives). United States & Canada: Both countries have senators, working together to shape their laws and policies. So, when you hear the word "senator," remember they’re chosen voices – listening to your concerns and helping make decisions for the bigger picture. Do you all have any questions about what a senator does or how they get elected? Let's discuss!
