Because in the Senate there are 100 members, 2 per state. In the House of Reprisentatives, we vote for the best people, and a few at a time can go.
it was split as a compromise between the larger states and the smaller ones, the larger states wanted the amount of members to depend on the population of each state but the smaller ones wanted equal amount of members so they split congress up as a compromise
According to the Constitution there should be one representative for every 30,000 people in a state. This determines how many representatives are sent for each state.
