Answer:

each state gets two senators

Step-by-step explanation:

this goes back to forming the constitution where there was an argument between big states and large states. The argument was stated should all have the same amount of representatives (which supports small states) and states should have representation based on population (which supports big states). Compromising we now have the senate and house of representatives. Senate each state gets two people. house of representatives is based on population (California has 53, Arizona has 9)
