In the context of the U.S. Congress, bicameral refers to the structure and composition of Congress, which consists of two separate legislative chambers or houses. These two chambers are the House of Representatives and the Senate. This dual nature of Congress, with two independent bodies, is what makes it bicameral. Each chamber has its own unique powers, responsibilities, and methods of representation, but both must work together to pass legislation before it becomes law.

According to Article I of the U.S. Constitution, the role of Congress is to make laws for the United States. Congress, composed of the Senate and the House of Representatives, is the legislative branch of the federal government. Its primary responsibilities include:

1. Lawmaking: Congress has the power to propose, debate, and pass legislation on various issues, such as taxation, defense, commerce, and social welfare.

2. Representation: Congress is responsible for representing the interests of the American people. Members of Congress are elected by citizens to represent their respective districts or states and advocate for their constituents' concerns and needs.

3. Oversight: Congress oversees the executive branch, including the President and his administration. It ensures that the government functions lawfully, efficiently, and in the best interests of the people by conducting investigations, holding hearings, and providing checks and balances.

4. Budgetary Powers: Congress controls the nation's finances through the power of the purse. It is responsible for authorizing and appropriating funds, creating budgets, and overseeing government spending.

5. Foreign Relations: Congress has the authority to regulate foreign trade, declare war, ratify treaties, and provide oversight on matters related to national security and international relations.

In summary, Article I outlines Congress's fundamental role as the primary legislative body, representing the people, making laws, overseeing the executive branch, controlling finances, and shaping foreign relations.
