ORIGINAL: tazzygirl Eh... im entitled to a mistake. Same difference in the House. Again, elected by the State, not the US as a whole. Not even by a state - a district. In some cases, an area as a small as a single city, or even a portion of a city.Their role was intended by the framers to be representative of small groups of people. That's the whole point - senators represent the entire state, representatives represent local interests.They have a different mission, a different focus. They are, theoretically, intended to be advocates of the common people.
