Context
The Framers designed the Senate to give equal representation to each state, balancing the House of Representatives where representation is based on population. This compromise, reached at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, was essential to winning support from smaller states. Senators serve six-year terms, with approximately one-third of the Senate up for election every two years.
