well a start, the senate was formed to ensure that the states had a forum to put forward their interests
bit funny how we get a bunch of greens representing their interests rather than their states interests ... still they have to reoresbnt somehtin I guess cause they woukldnt have the vaguest idea of the interests if the states they live in, especially when they live in many states .... sort of like a house of reps within the senate
so
in fact two house of reps and one senate that doesn't rep
