The People, elect Senators and Representatives, which are members of Congress. When the people believe that the person they elected is hurting their "State" or is not aware of their current "State" issues, they elect another person. Members of Congress depend on the people of the state they represent and they have to change their views to those of the majority or sometimes the voiceless. Senators serve safety for six years, however Representatives serve for two, which makes them easy to change. it's hard to accomplish anything if the senators of a state, is against the views of the representatives
