2 per state was written into the constitution to settle an argument by the founders concerning the representatives of the small states vs the larger states. So, they created the two houses of Congress. One with everyone having 2 for each state and the other based on population of each state. In this way the smaller states wouldn't be out voted by the larger states in every issue.
