No, there is an equal number of senators for each state.... 2. They also each hold terms of six years. The house of representatives calculates the number of representatives per state by its population. The reason we have these two legislative houses (meaning we are "Bicameral." Say our congress is bicameral in class and you will sound smart) is to make congress fair for all states. The smaller states favor the senate while the larger states favor the house.
-The Senate adds two representatives to the state's number in the House, meaning that the Senate increases small state's power in the Senate moreso than for larger states, because in a state with only 1 representative from population, the 2 would increase its number by 66%, while for a larger state such as California, the bonus is much more negligable.

Is congress allowed to favor one state over another?
Individual members of Congress certainly are, but the structure of the legislative branch is such that it's not really possible for it to favor one state over another. Since members of congress are elected by their congressional districts, and individual senators are elected by the citizens of their state, it's natural that these members would favor their own constituencies over others. The states are given representation proportionate to their populations in the Congress, but each state has two representatives in the Senate regardless of population -- this is intended to make sure there's enough representation for citizens of a large state while citizens of small states aren't drowned out.
