Quickly, however, the checks-and-balances idea came to the front, and by the time Massachusetts got around to devising a Frame of Government, it was generally accepted that the two Houses should stand on a level. When the authors of the Federal Constitution adopted the principle, they threw the adjustment out of balance by giving to the Senate powers destined to make that body distinctly the more influential in lawmaking. In the States, too, the Senates usually have the greater share in determi...ning the laws, but not so much in the way of shaping new legislation as in preventing change. Conditions tend to make the lower House the constructive body, the upper House the obstructive body. This, however, is no part of the bicameral theory. Sir Thomas Smith, who described Parliament in a book written nearly three centuries and a half ago, said: "In the lower House the Speaker, sitting in a seat or chair for that pur- pose somewhat higher that he may see and be seen of them all, hath before him, in a lower seat, his clerk who readeth such bills as be first propounded in the lower House, or be sent down from the Lords.
