Dude - A Senator does not represent the people as such - A Senator represents the state, that's why each state has two - the states have equal representation - Representatives represent the people - that's why they are alloted by population. A Senator is supposed to look out for the best interests of his state. When our government was first established many didn't want a republic some wanted and aristocracy - the Senat was the solution - originally the Senate - Not the people chose the president.
