Actually the purpose of the House is too keep the senate in check.

If you don't believe me look it up.

The senate was established first, the house later as a way to counter the power of the senate and keep the senate from imposing it's will on the people.

Both keep the other in check - I will get you the "cooler minds" quote from the Federalist Papers.

I have (obviously) been too busy to look up the Federalist Papers reference for you , but trust me, you are completely wrong about the Senate being the "will of the people" - if you are still interested, try a Google search on "cooling saucer" House Senate : )
