More than half the people in the US dont know who their congressman is. How can someone represent the people, when the people dont know the representative. I cant remember the last time I talked to someone that had the power to give themselves a pay raise.

How does a typical senators constituency differ from that of a representative in the house?

Senators are elected by state, not by district. (Most representatives represent only a portion of a state, though the least populous states may have only one representative.) For the majority of representatives, then, they are representing a fairly small (in population, not necessarily size) group of people, who are most likely rather more homogeneous in their culture, economic status, and interests than the constituency of a senator.
