The framers of the U.S. Constitution established a representative democracy, or a republic, to prevent direct democracy. They created a system where elected representatives make decisions on behalf of the citizens, thereby buffering against the potential chaos and tyranny of the majority that can arise in direct democracy. Additionally, mechanisms like the Electoral College and the Senate were designed to ensure that various interests and regions were represented, further diluting the direct influence of popular opinion on governance.
The framers of the Constitution anticipated that the Senate would be an equal arm of the government. The House of Representatives is a representational arm of government.
The framers were the people in colonial America responsible for what rules the country would be run on. The framers held that a contract exist between the senate and the house of representatives.

The US is a Constitution Based Federal Republic, with a long and strong Democratic Tradition. With all of its errors, it seems to work. It works only as far as a man will go. If the senate has a motive against the wishes of the public we can't do a thing about it.
Framers of the Constitution designed the Senate to represent the states. Each branch is structured so that it may restrain the others' excesses, resulting in a form of institutionalized checks and balances. The House of Representatives makes and passes federal laws.
They hoped that the smaller Senate would be a more enlightened and responsible body than the House of Representatives
