The constitution says that each state shall have two senators. Population doesn't count in the Senate. In the House of Representatives populations determine how many seats in the house each state gets. Reapportionment only affects the House not the Senate.

Why has the House of Representatives grown so much faster than the Senate?

The House of Representatives has grown faster than the Senate primarily due to its structure and representation model. The House is designed to reflect population changes, with its number of members based on state populations, leading to frequent adjustments through reapportionment after each census. In contrast, the Senate is fixed at two senators per state, regardless of population, resulting in no growth in the number of senators. Additionally, the House's larger membership allows for more representatives to be added without changing the fundamental organization of the Senate.
