That is false. Bicameralism creates an interesting dynamic in a legislature because it means that before a law is passed, it will be voted on by two deliberative bodies representing the same constituencies.

Let's see whether we understand all the words in the question: what is constituency?

A constituency is the group of voters - so in the case of the US Senate as a whole, the constituency is the whole of US.

The Constituency of the House of the Representatives is the same: it's the whole population of the US.

So in the case of the US the two bodies are representing the same constituency - the answer is false!
