States often have mixed feelings about issue representation in Congress, as they seek a balance between local interests and national priorities. Some constituents feel underrepresented on critical issues like healthcare, education, and infrastructure, leading to calls for more advocacy from their elected officials. Additionally, differing political ideologies across states can create tensions regarding which issues receive attention, particularly in a polarized environment. Ultimately, states desire Congress to reflect their unique concerns while still addressing broader national issues.

What is the difference between demographic representation and agency representation?
In demographic representation, the characteristics of a legislature are quite similar to the characteristics of people they represent. Although US Congress is not demographically represented, it has moved closer to such representation by inducting more and more women members in recent years. In agency representation, constituents elect a representative and then monitor his performance through the term. If they feel unsatisfied of his performance they discard him and elect another member in next elections.

The founding fathers thought that two houses would protect the rights of the people. It also provided a way of giving small states an equal say in the senate, while allowing the larger population states to feel like they had the advantage in the House of Representatives. The constant requirement to pass bills by both of the groups helps insure that there is less hanky panky going on and fewer deals being made that could hurt the people.
