Workers were underrepresented in government bodies like the US Senate in the late nineteenth century primarily due to socioeconomic barriers and the political power dynamics of the time. The Senate was largely dominated by wealthy elites and industrialists who had the resources to influence politics and legislation. Additionally, the political system favored established interests over the working class, who often lacked the means and political connections to effectively advocate for their rights and interests. This resulted in a significant disconnect between the legislative bodies and the realities faced by the working population.
