The U.S. House of Representatives was designed to represent the people. Its members have always been publicly elected, and the number of members per state is proportional to the state's relative portion of the U.S. population.

The U.S. Senate was designed to represent the states. From 1788 to 1912 its members were elected by the state legislatures, and every state has the same number of members (two).
