Does the make -up of the senate favor large states only?

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.

During the Constitutional Convention, delegates from smaller states were in favor of equal representation in Congress, which led to the creation of the Senate where each state, regardless of size, would have two senators. They feared that larger states would dominate legislative decisions if representation were based solely on population. This concern was a key factor in the Great Compromise, which balanced representation by establishing a bicameral legislature.
