Why aren't members of the Senate also called representatives?

Updated: 9/27/2023

Senators also represent people, who why is it only members of the House of Representatives that are called representatives?

Simply stated the Constitution established three branches of government: executive, legislative, and judicial. And it further divided the legislative branch into the House of Representative and the Senate. That's their proper names, which is why they are capitalized.

And that's your answer. Members of the Senate are called Senators because they belong to the Senate. They are not called Representatives because they do not belong to the House of Representatives.

Because the members of the Senate represent the specific whole state and the representatives only represent a district in a state. As you can see with have 100 senators versus 435 representatives.
