Smaller states favor the senate because they are given equal voting power, regardless of population. Unlike the House of Representatives where votes are delegated based on population and geographical boundaries

∙ 7y agoBecause the US Senate has two senators from every state and the House of Representatives is based on the population of a state, so smaller states have few people in the House. The senate therefore balances out the power among states.

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.
