The six year term of office with one third of the members facing an election every two years, insures that this house remains a more deliberative body, even a more civilized body where the more stable and smaller population gets to know and respect each other. Their politics may differ, but they rarely display genuine animosity toward their fellow Senators. They debate, while the lower House tends to fight, bicker and to be much more partisan.

JudyI think there are two main reasons for having fixed terms for Senators. The first is to ensure that the people get to decide who represents them from time to time. If a Senator were there for life, you wouldn't be able to get rid of a bad one. The second reason is because the chances of becoming corrupt are greater if you can't be removed from office.
