What is the difference between US senator and state senator?

Answer 1

The US Senate is one of the two houses of Congress. It meets in Washington, D.C., and consists of 100 senators, two from each State.

Every US State (except Nebraska) also has a State Senate. These State Senates meet in the State capitals, and their members are elected by communities within the State.

Answer 2

Generally the functions are similar but on a smaller scale.

However, US Senators are apportioned by the U.S. Constitution : 2 for each state regardless of a state's population. Under the various "one man, one vote" decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court, state senators must be apportioned within the state based on population. That is, each state senator must represent roughly the same number of a given state's population.

Answer 3

A U.S. Senator is a Sentor that serves a state in the Senate in Washington DC. A State Senator serves his state in the State Senate in the state they are elected in.

Answer 4

No. a US Senator is your Representative to the Federal Government. and your State Senator is your Representative to your individual State.
