Answer:

A bill passed in the House might differ from a bill passed on the same subject simply because the House and the Senate are run by different members and the bills may thus include different provisions.

Explanation:

  • Though the processes of introducing a bill are broadly the same in both the chambers of the Congress, the members that frame the bills to introduce in the House and in the Senate are different.
  • The provisions in the bill introduced by a member of the House may not always match with that of the bill introduced by a senator on the same subject.
