In the US House of Representatives (and many other "lower chambers" of the legislatures), seats are apportioned according to the population of a state. There are currently 435 members in the House, approximately one for every 693,000 U.S. citizens.
However, the US Senate gives each State equal representation regardless of the number of residents. Each state elects 2 senators, for a total of 100. This arrangement was designed to limit the effect of large population blocs in one area of the country in dominating the legislative agenda. However, as seen in the Electoral College (which gives each state a number of electors equal to its total Congressional members), growing populations in a small number of regions can still outvote and outweigh the relatively less-populous states.
