Best Answer

Two for each state, ergo 100, since there are 50 states.

The Constitution (in Article I, Section 3, Clause 1) explicitly sets the number at 2 senators per state. As to why 2 were chosen (instead of 1 or 3 or any other number), there's no good answer, other than 2 being a reasonable number.

Each state has 2 Senators, 2 for each of the 50 states.

50 states x 2 senators = 100 senators
