The U.S. House of Representatives should have the higher potential of representing the people (if Congress should ever decide to do so for a change) because they have always been elected by the people, their numbers per state are proportional to each state's population, and they are elected by and are supposed to represent smaller groups of people. The average congressional district had less than 711000 residents at the time of the 2010 census, and the largest has under a million. The Senate has the same number of members per state, each member represents his/her whole state, the largest of which has over 37 million people, and until about 100 years ago they weren't even elected by the public.
