Answer 4

The U.S. House of Representatives represents the people of the U.S., and the U.S. Senate represents the states. That is why until 1913 House members were elected by the people while Senators were elected by the state legislatures (now both are elected by majority vote of the people).

The U.S. Congress was designed as a compromise to balance the power between large and small states. In the House of Representatives, large states have the advantage that their share of representation is proportional to their share of the U.S. population. In the Senate, small states have the advantage that every state is represented equally.
