How does a typical senator's constituency differ from that of a typical representative in the House?

In: Politics and Government [Edit categories]

Answer:

Senators are elected by state, not by district. (Most representatives represent only a portion of a state, though the least populous states may have only one representative.)
For the majority of representatives, then, they are representing a fairly small (in population, not necessarily size) group of people, who are most likely rather more homogeneous in their culture, economic status, and interests than the constituency of a senator.
