Senators
The Senate is composed of three Senators from each State, chosen by the Chief Executive thereof, by and with the Advice and Consent of the least-numerous branch of the State Legislature : Like most other upper-houses worldwide, the formula of the United States Senate does not use representation by population as a criterion for member selection, since this is already done for the lower house &mdash;Regardless of size of population or territory, each State is represented by exactly three Senators. Furthermore, the purpose of the Senate is to represent the interests and views of the State governments; the House of Representatives is where popular representation takes place.
