The congress is represented by the two houses of the state: the House of Representatives and the Senate.
The two houses of the legislative branch of the US government are the House of Representatives and the Senate. These two houses together are referred to as Congress. Each U.S. state is represented in the House in proportion to its population. Each U.S. state is represented in the Senate by two senators, regardless of population.
The Connecticut Compromised settled the question of how states would be represented in Congress. The Compromise was that Congress would be made up of two houses, one in which each state was represented equally, and one in which each state was represented according to its population.
The agreement made in the Great Compromise was that the American government would agree to have two houses of Congress. These houses were the Senate of each state and the House of Representatives.
Queensland no longer has two houses of Parliament. It has just the Legislative Assembly.
The state of New York is represented by two Senators. Each state in the union is represented by two Senators. 50 states equals 100 senators.
States are represented equally in the Senate, with each state having two senators. This means that both large and small states have an equal voice in the Senate. This ensures that each state is equally represented in the legislative process.

It depends on the specific state's constitution. Many states have two houses in the legislature as in the US Congress (a state senate and a state house of representatives).

Federal government and State government
They were following the model of the British Parliament in which the two houses represented two different sets of interests. The House of Lords represented the landed and titled aristocracy and the house of commons represented the common people and the mercantile class. In the US Congress, the Senate, having two Senators from each state, which were at the time chosen by the state legislatures, represented the several states as sovereign political entities. The House of Representatives' number of seats per state were based off population size. The House are elected by the people directly and were meant to directly represent their voters. Having one house equal in seats, the senate, was a result of the Great Compromise. This allowed states the size of Delaware or Rhode Island to have the same say in elections and choices as a state such as Virginia would have. The House would then show fairness and give larger states more seats because they had more people being represented. ~Michael Montagne
The United States Congress consists of two Houses, the Senate, in which each state is represented equally, and the House of Representatives, which comes as close as is reasonably possible to each person being represented equally.
