US Senators and Representatives

After the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913, Senators are by law directly elected by the voters in their respective states. Before 1913 it was up to the states to decide how they would choose their Senators. Some were directly elected, some were chosen by State Legislatures.

Each state has 2 senators in the US Senate

Their basic job is to represent the people of their states and district

"Since reconstruction, the masses of my people have been, as it were, enslaved in mind by unprincipled adventurers, who, caring nothing for country, were willing to stoop to anything no matter how infamous, to secure power to themselves, and perpetuate it..... My people have been told by these schemers, when men have been placed on the ticket who were notoriously corrupt and dishonest, that they must vote for them; that the salvation of the party depended upon it; that the man who scratched a ticket was not a Republican. This is only one of the many means these unprincipled demagogues have devised to perpetuate the intellectual bondage of my people.... The bitterness and hate created by the late civil strife has, in my opinion, been obliterated in this state, except perhaps in some localities, and would have long since been entirely obliterated, were it not for some unprincipled men who would keep alive the bitterness of the past, and inculcate a hatred between the races, in order that they may aggrandize themselves by office, and its emoluments, to control my people, the effect of which is to degrade them."

The number of states represented by voting seats in the House of Representatives is equal to the official number of states in the United States (50). The District of Columbia has a non-voting seat, which is a matter of controversy among its citizens. There are also five non-voting delegates from US Territories.

There are 435 members in the House (436, if you count DC), and each state is entitled to one representative. The remaining 385 seats are apportioned to the states according to their population as a percentage of the total US population, determined by the most recent census.
