When the founders were trying to figure out how best to represent citizens in Congress, those from states with larger populations clashed with those from states with smaller populations. More populated states argued for representation based on population—meaning, they would have a louder voice in Congress. But states with smaller populations resisted this idea: Why should the more populated states get more power? They were in favor of an equal number of representatives per state so that they wouldn't get overshadowed. What to do? A two-chamber system, or "bicameral legislature," was the compromise. The Senate has two senators from each state, regardless of the population of the state. The number of representatives in the House, on the other hand, is based on population size. This system ensures that the smaller states still have their voices heard, but that the people and their interests are fairly represented.
