AI overview
An upper house is one of two chambers that make up certain national legislatures, typically serving as a secondary legislative body that reviews and approves laws alongside the lower house. It matters because it provides an additional layer of deliberation and can represent different interests—such as states or regions—giving them a voice in the lawmaking process.
